FLEW ATLANTIC
TEN WEEKS OLD INFANT Motherless Susan Jane Lehman slept peacefully in her grandparents’ Chicago home unconcerned that at 10 weeks she is one of the youngest passengers ever to fly the Atlantic. The baby arrived about midnight on a recent Sunday at the Chicago Airport after a 40-hour ' journey from London. Her father, T/4 William Lehman, said Susan Jane weathered the trip better than he did. Susan Jane’s mother, the former Miriam Tomlinson of Manchester, England, passed on shortly after the child’s birth. Army regulations do not permit infant children of American servicemen to travel by ship. The Air Transport Command arranged the flight so that Technician Lehman, due for discharge, could take his daughter to his parents’ home in Chicago.
