Two Passenger Carrying Craft to Fly via Siberia We are informed by Messrs. Mel~ chers & Ca,, agents of the Deutsche Lufthansa that two big German. aeroplanes are expected to arrive in Peking during the latter part of August after travelling over Rus-Sa, Siberia and Manchuria. planes belong to the Deutsche Luf= hansa a corporation comprising all the leading aeroplane concerns of Germany. They are of the "Jun= ker G23" type, are fitted with three motors and fly at a speed of 150 kilometres per hour, having a carry= ing capacity of tine passengers beside the crew.
The advantage of having three rotors is obvious since the failure of any one motor does not force the pilot to descend en an unsuitable landing place—a fate which is sponsible for most aeroplane ae. cidents.
The visit of the aeroplanes is con= idered merely an act of courtesy to show the amicable relations existing between Germany snd China.
