NORTH ATLANTIC ROUTE
GERMAN FLIER PROVES ITS FEASIBILITY LANDS AT HALIFAX Reed. 9.5 a.m. HALIFAX, Monday. Captain von Gronau, the German airmanT who is flying from Icelaud to America with three companions, and who was forced down in fog at Queensport Harbour, Nova Scotia, arrived here at 3 p.m. local time and immediately started refuelling preparatory to resuming the flight to New York. The flight is being made in a Dornier-Wal flying-boat. A message from Ottawa says Canadian aviation authorities think Gronau’s flight seems to prove conclusively the feasibility of the North Atlantic air route as the one eventually to be adopted on EuropeAmerica flights. A group of young English explorers now in the Arctic is gathering data with the intention of planning a route from Europe into Central Canada, probably Winnipeg.
