Of the three planes that started the
flight from Trepassey, the NC-4 waa
alone successful. The other planes,
the NC-1 and NC-3 were forced to
abandon the trip by bad weather and
engine trouble before reaching the
Azores which was the first objective.
Unfavorable weather conditions and
motor difficulties held the NC-4 at
Ponta Delgada for over a wtek be-
fore she could continue the trip.
Secretary Daniels regards the ar-
rival of the NC-4 at Lisbon as the
end of the enterprise. The big fact,
he said is that the Atlantic has been
crossed through the air and it was
accomplished as planned. It is plan
ned to have the NC-4 proceed t(
Plymouth from Lisbon and there it
will be decided whether she is to at-
tempt a return Journey to the United
States. These plans, however, are
merely incidental to the real mission
of the undertaking, which waa to fly
from Trepassey to the Azores and
thence to Lisbon, Mr. Daniels stated.
