CRAMER FOUND
ALASKA FERTILE
AVIATION FIELD
TELLS CHICAGOANS POSSIBILI
TY OF AIR ROUTE TO CHINA
VIA ALASKA
The following, from the Chicago
(Tribune, relates interestingly what
(Parker D. Cramer, Chicago-Alaska
jSiberia aviator, thinks about the
j country.
Parker D. Cramer flew into Chi
cago on his return from his flight
■from Alaska across the Bering s°£
'to Siberia with half grown bearrd
■ and high enthusiasm for the future
iof aviation in Alaska and the pos
sibilities it offers for a commercial
air route from Chicago to China.
“Shorty”, as he is known among
the flying fraternity, was late in
his arrival, but he had not been
lost, as first reports had it. In
stead, he said, he was “catching up
jon lost sleep” at La Crosse, Wis.,
iwhere he had landed because of
bad weather in the Chicago region.
With him was W. Gamble of New
York, who accompanied him on the
Siberian flight.
NO FANFARE FOR FLIGHT
Little- save curiosity prompted
him to make the 10,000 air trip
from Chicago to the tip of North
America and back, Cramer asserted.
Without the usual fanfare of pub
licity attendant on experimental
flights, the pilot and navigator who
last year accompanied Bert Hassell
in the attempted flight from Rock
ford to Stockholm, took-off three
weeks ago and proceeded by easy
jumps to Alaska, but it was not
until the plane had reached Nome
that the purpose of the venture
was learned.
! “The trip was made to see if it
wasn’t possible to fly over the re
gion in a stock plane with a stock
motor and without previous ar
rangements for fuel, repair bases,
(landing fields, etc..,” Cramer said,
j “I have concluded from our experi
ence that the logical route to Asia
is by way of Alaska as the logical
way to Europe is by way of Labra
dor, Greenland and Iceland. There
seems to be little sense in flying
lover great expanses of water when
the destination can be reached
' with comparatively safe flying
over land.
VERY LITTLE WATER FLYING
“Contrary to popular opinion,
| Alaska offers few obstacles to the
flyer. While it is mountainous,
|there ere a great number of srmll
I lakes and rivers with sandbars and
flat land surrounding them. An
amphibian with more than one
motor, equipped to alight on land
or water, would have no trouble in
j flying over this country. The long
est water hop over the Bering strait
is 30 miles. The rest of the jour
ney is made over small islands.”
The Cessna monoplane, a four
passenger cabin ship powered with
a Warner motor, in which Cramer
made the flight, was fitted with
skiis over most of the Alaskan jour
ney. On its wings apd fuselage
when it arrived in Chicago there
were hundreds of penciled names
scrawled there by the natives when
the plane had landed.
“Alaska is a fertile field for avia
tion,” Crariier observed. “On our
trip we ran across some 20 planes
and all the operators reported a
thriving business. Journeys that
require three weeks by dog team
are being made by airplanes in
three days. Operators are getting
$1.50 per pound for carrying fur
and gold and 75 cents per pound for
mail. The passenger fare from
Nome to Fairbanks, a distance of
600 miles is $300.
Cramer expects to proceed to
New York. “If this weather keeps
up.” he said. “I’m going back to
Alaska to get warm.”

son were maried at a ceromony
in Fairbanks last week Both
Mr .and Mrs. Johnson are well
known in Fairbanks.
