IN THE FACE OF RECENT TRA
GEDIES DANCING TEACHER
TO ATTEMPT HOP
OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 15. (IP)—
Another Hawaiian flight with a wo
man aboard is in the making.
It is planned to fly over and back
and to test the invention of a Berke
ley man’s automatic drift indicator.
The mechanism fastens to the side
of the plane and records on a cy-’
Under the route flown.
Tracy Dobson, former lieutenant
in the eleventh army pursuit squad
ron, will be head pilot. He will take
a co-pilot, he states, in addition to |
Miss Doris Conover, a dancing teach
er of Oakland.
Miss Conover has made a study of
aerial navigation and is an amateur
'telegraph operator.
Dobson is aware of the opposition
to long distance flying in land ma
chines over the ocean, but says he
is confident that this can be over
Icome by demonstration of the plane’s
| worthiness and proof of thoroughness
of preparation.
He expects to fly a Mahoney mono
! plane powered with a Pratt-Whitney
| engine of 428 horsepower. It will
jcarry 550 gallons of gasoline and will
I have a cruising radius of 2,955 miles,
'or a margin of 555 miles in excess of
the distance between Oakland and
! /
Honolulu.
! A date for the hop-off has not been
fixed definitely, but probably will be
I
in mid-November, dependent o n
wreather conditioji.
! That the tragic fate of Miss Mil
dred Doran has not deterred woman
kind in its ambition to be the first
to fly over an ocean is indicated not
only by Miss Conover’s determina
i
tion to attempt the trip, but also by
applications for passage from wromen
in Cleveland, Kansas City, Chicago
and many other cities.
'Carrying virtually every safety in
strument of aerial navigation and
with a double instrument board, Dob
i
son declares the plane will be equip
ped in a manner to reduce the haz
ards to a minimum and to remove
the undertaking from the class of the
reckless stunt flight.
A radio receiver for reception of
the radio beacon signal will be tak
en along as an additional navigation
precaution.
