Four of th pilot who will partici
pate in the rulitr trophy rice
Thunday afternoon arc recognized
ai the greatest engaged in the fljr
ing game today.
t Two Bert Acoita and C B.
Comla are civilian flier, and two--Capt.
H. E. Hartney and Capt J.
A. MacReady are army officers.
They are not reprnenting the army,
however, in the Pulitzer race.
Acoita is 26. He i a graduate of
the Throop Polytechnic school of
Paiadena. Cal. lie taught himself
to fly.
Off Tall Bluff.
His first intercut in aviation was
in 1909. when he built a glider and
took off from a tall bluff near his
California home. Then he built the
first ship he ever flew. He made the
wings of muslin and used bamboo
for the struts. The motor was a
three-cylinder, two-cycle Elbridge
aero-weight engine that carried the
plane for several miles at an alti
tude of 50 feet.
During the war, Acosta was con
sulting engineer and director of fly
iug and tests for the government.
Acosta has flown almost every
type of plane from racing mono
planes to Larscn junkers, which
. carry 10 passengers.
One of Smallest
Acosta is not making his first
visit to Omaha. He piloted one of
the Larscn ships here a year ago
last summer, when Larsen flew out
here with three ships from New
York.
C. B. Combs, physiciaily. is one
of the smallest pilots entered in the
Omaha Air congress. When he
steps into a ship he is hardly visible.
Combs started flvmg in 1915. He
was the winner of the Statue of Lib
erty race in New York in 1918, and
holds the record for flying time be
tween New York and Toronto. Dur
ing the war he was an experimental
pilot for the government at Dayton
field.
Capt. H. E. Hartney was a lieu
tenant colonel in the army during
the war. He was commander for a
time of the famous "Hat in the Ring"
backer later was made commander
New Altitude Champion.
Last year flying a Thomas Morse,
the same kind of plane he will fly
here, Hartney finished second in the
Pulitzer trophy race on Long
Island. He hopes to pull down first
place this time.
Capt. J. A. MacReady comes from
Dayton field. Only a few weeks
ago Captain MacReady's name was
flashed over the world as the new
holder of the altitude record. He
beat the record previously estab
lished by Major Schroeder.
Acosta and Combs will fly Curtiss
ships; Acosta will pilot the Curtiss
navy model and Combs the "Cactus
Kitten." Hartney will pilot a
Thomas Morse monoplane and Mac-
: Ready a Thomas Morse biplane.

sent on his way. About two minutes
probably will be required tor eacr.
plane to cross the starting mark.
The event will be timed with
Warner electrical timer, which is
used to time automobile races. The
device will record time to the hun

operated by Capi. R. A. Leavell,
who has timed nearly all of the fast
automobile and aerial events in the
past few years in this country.
Captain Leavell will be stationed at
the starting point behind a pair of
parallel wires, which cover the en
tire range of vision necessary to ob
serve a plane as it passes over. As
the craft tcomes into range he re
cords its time and an expert with a
calculating device figures the
elapsed time for the lap. Thus spec
tators will be kept informed at all
times of the status of the ships in
the race.
