Describes remarkable flight of the Smith brothers over a distance of 18,200 km. in period of thirty days, with details of the Vickers-Vimy plane used in flight which is said to show evidence of influence of German construction, especially of the newer type of Gotha machine delivered to England according to Treaty terms, and to prove that for such long and difficult flights, only machines with two or more engines can be considered.
