AIR SPEED RECORD
FRENCHMEN TRAINING IN FAST MACHINES BRITAIN READY TO DEFEND LONDON, Sunday. Two well-known French airmen, Sadi Lecomte and Paillaird, are practising high-speed flying at Bordeaux. They are using a 600 horse-power monoplane preparatory to testing a faster and more powerful monoplane in which Lecomte expects to attack in February Squadron-Leader Orlebar’s world’s speed record for 357.7 miles an hour. British airmen are preparing to challenge any new record that may be established. The Gloster-Napiers used In the Schneider Cup race are being modified to give greater speeds. Squadron-Leader A. H. Orlebar and Flight-Lieutenant G. H. Stainforth are training in readiness to pilot them if the British record is broken.
