Paris.—Adolplie Pegoud, the topsy-
turvy aviator, intends, if ho manage,
to keep alive, to give exhibitions of
upside down flying in New York at the
couclusion of Ills present tour.
Before ^olug to Vienna M. Pegoud 1
gave an interview in which he not
only stated his purpose of going-to
America, but also expressed his will
ingness to attempt a flight across the
Atlantic, provided a proper naval
patrol was guaranteed.
M. Pegoud Is small and dapper, with
brilliant eyei, scintillating good humor,
lie cultivates a dark mustache, n In
Unlser. He is a great joker, oven on
the subject of Ills own thrilling per-
formance'-. Willie ho cannot be called
a man without nerves, ho undoubtedly
does not know the meaning of danger.
Ills attitude concerning his upside-
down feats Is not stngey. nor that of
an acrobat seeking adulation. lie said
at the beginning of (he interview:
"I am very proud to bo the first man
to accomplish this feat, but other men
ran do It as easily as I. After I got
the idea I worked out the possibilities
on paper and studied the entire prob-
lem thoroughly. I kept at Hleriot to
allow me to attempt it merely to prove
the possibility of the safety of his
make of aeroplane.
"You ask whether I would attempt a
transatlantic flight. 'I have not studi d
the question sulllclently to make a com-
plete answer concerning the possibility
of success, bat I think that such a

flight will be accomplished in the near
future. Certainly it will be the great-
est feat In aviation. I hope to be
among the first to attempt It, even
though I do not succeed.
"Persons talk about the foolhardi-
ness of my upside down flights. If.I
thought them foolhardy I would not do
them. That is why I say 1 would at-
tempt a transatlantic flight now only
with a guarantee of proper naval pa-
trol, because I am sane enough to de
sire to try it again if I fail the first
time.
"From a superficial study of the sit-
uation I believe that the flight might
now be attempted across the shortest
route, from the west coast of Ireland
to Newfoundland.
"A waterpland of sufficient size, an
extraordinarily powerful motor and
wireless equipment could today nego-
tiate a large part of the trip without
descending for gasoline. Given fair
weather the craft could rest on the
waves until help arrived. With the
wireless it could keep its whereabouts
known. It would be necessary to fly
much faster than the fastest petrol
boats.
"As transatlantic liners would prob-
ably be expensive and impracticable, 1
believe that torpedo boats and de-
stroyers would be the best craft ob-
tainable. If any government wished
to test the possibility sufficiently to
have a convoy of goch craft, starting
a couple of days before the flight and
spreudlng themselves across the oceata,
I think it would not be long before the
greatest prize of the air would be won ''
