SWIFT FLYING
LINDBERGH KEEPS PLANE AT HIGH LEVELS RECORD ACROSS STATES United P.A. —By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, Monday.
Colonel Charles Lindbergh and his wife established a new speed record when they landed, this morning in a Lockhead-Sirius airplane at the Roosevelt Field, New York, 14 hours 44 minutes after leaving Glendale, California. They had made one stop of 20 minutes to refuel at Wichita, Kansas. The entire flight was made at altitudes of 10,000 feet to 20,000 feet. The object was to
prove that transcontinental express airplanes may fly more swiftly with less storm resistance at high altitudes. The police and State troopers had much difficulty in keeping an excited mob of spectators from the airplane after the landing.
