Dale Jackson and Forest O’Brine are piloting the endurance plane. Jackson, known as “Red,” is the holder of the world’s barrel- roll championship, made at Lam- bert-St. Louis Field last fall in a Robin. O’Brine is test pilot for the Curtiss-Robertson Co. Both flyers, in notes dropped yesterday, declare they are com- fortable and have been able to sleep soundly on a pneumatic cush- ion on top of the main gas tank. The tank holds 176 gallons of gas- Oline, giving the plane a cruising. range of 20 hours. The flyers, who carry a barograph, which will record any contact with the earth, are permitted to depart from the view of watchers at the field and during the three days they have | been in the air have circled over the city and have visited Scott Field and Parks Airport on the fast Side. The refueling process is in charge of C. Ray Wassall of Cur- tiss: Ftying Service. Gasoline is transferred from the refueling ship to the endurance plane through a 40-foot rubber hose. » The pilots are becoming expert in the oper- difficulty in transferring oil in 65- gallon tins, and food, water and messages from Wassall’s plane to the endurance ship. The refuel- ing plane has a glass bottom in the pilot’s cbéckpit, permitting di- rect visibility downward. The second endurance plane will be manned by Joseph Hammer, who obtained a furlough from the Chicago-Atlanta air mail route, to participate, and by -W. Gentry Shelton, aviation enthusiast, who holds a transport pilot’s license. The second plane will have its own refueling ship and crew. San Francisco Plane Enters Its ' 246 hours, 43 minutes.
