Few people realized when they read the story of the NC-4's flight
from Rockaway, L. I., to Plymouth, England, in the spring of 1919,, that
the preparations for that remarkable voyage and record-smashing achieve
ment had begun in September, 1917..
Admiral David W. Taylor, chief constructor of the navy, of course
frequently discu.scd with me problems relating to aviation. One day
in September of our first war year he sent for Naval Constructors Wester
velt and Hunsacker.
"I, want a plane designed that will fly across the Atlantic," , he told
them, as quietly as though he were ordering poached eggs for breaJtEast
They realized what a task he had imposed, but set, about it immediate
ly. The undertaking aroused my warmest, enthusiasm. It was a big
project, exceeding the most ambitipus efforts of any other nation.
Admiral laylors torce. went to
work at once. By the end of 1917
all the mam elements of the design
had been formulated, and early in
1918 the work of construction was
begun. The NC-1 was completed by
the first of October and the iirst test
flieht followed three days later.- On
November 7, just before the armis
tice, it flew to Washington, where
we inspected it; then went on to
Hampton Roads, and returned to
Kockaway. ijix months later the
NC-4 fulfilled its promise by making
the bie leap across the Atlantic.
You will note that this was a war
time project, conceived in war time
and .worked out . in war time, tiaa
the war-lasted another ' year- we
would have been crossing from
America to France by airplane, and
dropping bombs on, U-boats as we
flew.

Great Record in Aviation.
The aerial record of the navy is as
full of occasion for pride and satis
faction as its purely aquatic record.
The first ? armed forces of the
United States to land in France were
naval aviators. One group, sailing
on the Neptune',' landed on June 5,
1917, at Pauillac, the port from which
Lafayette sailed for America. to join
the struggling colonists in their war
for independence.
Another group on ' the Jupiter
reached Saint Nazaire on June 9,
sailing through the very - waters in
Which John Paul Jones operated in
the revolution.
The United States navy had 44
aviation Stations and units in Europe.
One naval aircraft made 5,691 flights,
covering a distance ot yi.jye mues.
They attacked 43 submarines from
the air, and were credited; according
to the records of naval aviation, with
sinking two, probably sinking two
more and damaging several others.
J.ne northern bombing group, in
connection with the British royal air
force, dropped more than 155.UOU
pounds of bombs on the U-boat base?
at Bruges, Zeebrugge and Ostend,
and on the enemy airdromes and air
stations in t landers.
On this side of the Atlantic we had
24 naval aviation units in' operation,
patrolling the coast from Nova Sco
tia to Florida. One unit guarded
the Panama canal. Marine corps
aviators guarded the Azores. Our
patrol flyers in America covered
2,455,920 miles nautical. Our ad
vanced training flights totaled 10,-
949,340 nautical miles. The total of
naval aviation in America, Azores
and Europe was more than 15,000,000
miles.' Naval- aviation grew during
the war to a force of over 46,000. It
was equipped with 1,170 flying boats,.
695 seaplanes, 262 land planes, 10
free.ballooms, 205 kite balloons and
15 dirigibles. 0 this equipment 570
aircraft were sent abroad. t '
First Naval Ace.
The long flights along the British,
reueh, and Italian coasts, and
patrels ;fgr out to sea, the combats
with enemy aircraft and submarines
form one of the most brilliant chap
ters of the-war. A volume would be
required to relate them all,- . I tell
here only the story of the first
naval ace, who may represent the
courage, daring and efficiencyof our
aviators who wrote a new page m
naval history.
The first naval "ace," Lieut. David
S. Ingalls. was attached to the north
ern bombing group in Flanders,
While aircraft were arriving from the
United States to equip this group,
Ingalls was assigned to Royal Air
rorcc bquadron No. 213, with whom
,we .cq-operated, in bombing,4ibe filer-
Ingalls began his spectacular per
formances on August 11 1918, when
in Company-with a British officer he
shot down a two-scate,r machine in a
running hgut over the uerman lines.
Zipping through the upper air at 120
miles an hour, by the skillful
maneuvering of their -planes the al-
licd.flyers were able toiget in several
bursts from' their Lewis gun on the
tairof the Germans, tyhosenmachine
crumpled up, burst into- nwne and
fell to the earth. Ingalls' machine
did not escape without its share of
punctures, but luckily notlHHg was
damaged which interfered with the
functioning of the motors' and the
wings held until the return to the
squadron airdrorne.
On the night of August 13. 1918,
Ingalls flew over the-Gorman air
drome at Yarscnaere, and" dropping
to a point where his plane nearly
touched the ground, sprayed 450
rounds from his machine gun into
the wondering Teutons, who were
making desperate efforts to get him
with their "archies." Swinging in a
wide circle, he again swooped down
on the hangars and let loose four,
bombs -in the midst of. things, put
ting out searchlights, scattering Ger
mans and mussing things up gener
al.
)n September 15 he repeated at
the German airdrome at Uytkerke
the-stunt he worked at'Varsenaere.
Flying low, , he rushed out of the
clouds upon the German hangars
and fired 400 rounds ; from . his
"Lewis" into the light canvas struc
tures, and with the upward 'swing of
his plane he cut free- four bombs
upon ,'the Fokkers grouped on ths
field below.
Brought Down Rumpler. ,
On this raid Ingalls was the leader
of a formation of five in a wing of
20 camels, and on the return from
Uytkerke he sighted' an enemy two--seated
Rumpler going west from
Ostend at an altitude' ef 6,000 feet.
Ingalls and Lieut. H. C. Smith of
,the British air .force-turned out of
formation, swung in ovr the'shorql
and attacked. The Rumpler turned
and dived toward Ostend. the Cam
els following. Firing 400 rounds
from ranges of 50 to 200 yards, they
chased the enemy plane - down to
about 500 feet just off the Ostend
piers, when the Rumpler went down
out of control, burst into flames and
crashed just off the beach.
On the 18th of September Ingalli
made one of the most Spectacular
flights on record. In company with
two English pilots in Sopwith Cam
els, he sighted a kite balloon at
about 3,500 feet elevation near La
Barriere. . Crossing the coast line,
the Camels attacked firing about 90
Buckingham tracers each.. 1
The Germans began to reel in the '
kite, the Camels following it down ;
to about 500 feet altiture, when ,
two. observers were seen to jump
with white parachutes. Ingalls gave
the balloon another spraying" with
tracer bullets and it burst .into
flames.
Three balloon hangars were ob
served at this station, and as the
flaming balloon fell it landed on one
of these hangars, which in an. instant
was ablaze. There was an explosion
and the fire spread to, the two re
maining hangars, destroying the en
tire station, while the 'flames were
visible as far as, Nieuport. All the
Camels were badly damaged by ma
chine gun and anti-aircraft fire, but
they reached.. thftirvbase, in $afefy, f
On September 22, Ingalls, who, in
company with four other Camels,
flew all over v Flanders, committing
depredation's. on'Xierman hangars and
ammunition' trains, dropped four
bombs on the German ammunitions
dump at Handezeame, and blew up a
number of wagons loaded with jihells.
Later he flew over the ammyiiition
dump at Wercktn and landed four
bombs on a Urge hut filled with ex
plosives, setting it on fire. Swinging
around over the railway station at
Thourout, where the Germans had
an enormous supply dump! he made
two accurate hits. On the way back,
being the fourth trip for the day,
Ingalls dropped four jnore bombs on
a horse transport, and he and his
companions got, -in enough' - good,
bursts from their machine guns to
account for some;25 Germans and
35 horses. It was work of this kind
that' won for Iftgalls his British dis
tinguished flying cross. .
During a test flight September 24,
Ingalls, in company with another
Camel, sighted a two-seated JRumpler
over Nieuport. Both Camels at
tacked, following the Rumpler very
close, Ingalls. and his mate getting
in two bursts of 200 rounds at 100
yards range. Driving the enemy to
a tailspin, Ingalls followed him down
to 600 feet, when the Rumpler burst
info flames and quickly crashed.
Ihe daring and enterprise of our
flyers is well illustrated by these in
stances. But the best tribute that
can be paid to the efficiency of naval
aviation is the fact that during the
last 10 months of the war no surface
crat convoy protected by American
naval aircraft' in the war zone was
successfully attacked by enemy ,subT
marines.

Rail Costs Must

Senator Cummins Says "Rail

Operation Returns Are ,
To Continue.
. Washington, Way 17. Private
ownership f railroads cannot con
tinue if railroad operating costs,
when fair returns on .capital is con
sidered, continue to exceed revenues,
Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
timore and Ohio testified today be
fore a senate investigating commit
tee. ...
He said that the railroad situation.
insofar as depression and lack of
earnings were concerned, . differed
"only in degree" from that now be
ing encountered in other industries.
General economic conditioiiS and
difficulties encountered in federal
war time operations, he added, were
in his opinion largely responsible for
present difficulties, and he expressed
confidence that private ownership
would 'justify itself financially and
work out under present laws and
Kovrnmint policy.
Chairman Cummins of the senate

the opinion that the railroads can

Aviator DeKvers
Tribute At Home of
Flyer. Killed in Fall
Grand Island.. Neb.. May 17. A
tender tribute was paid Warren Kite,
liu- r.viator, who lost his life in a
fill of 1,000 feet while giving a puh
iic exhibition Sunday, when J. F.
Moore", , aviator, representing the
Omaha Aero club, the Nebraska
ayiatio.n; interest in general, and the
air mail service, arrived at 2 p. in.,
in a plane from Omaha, gracefully
circled three times over thi Kite
home and later delivered a floral
tribute and letter in person to' the
mourning family and friends. The
boiy will be taken to Springfield,
Mo., tonight. American Legion mem
bers escorted the body .to the train.
Examination of the airplane from
which Warren Kite fell to his death
show s that he had not belted himself
into the car. A padlock, necessitating
unlocking before the belt can be re
moved and placed about the person
had remained securely locked. Hie
aviator had often flown on ordinary
trips- without the ' belt. His fellow
aviator,. J. T. Smith, and Mrs. Kite
are fir-m in the belief that Kite did
not jump from the car, but that he
fell or was thrown from it and that
he was unconscious during the fall.
