A new non-stop flight record for a seaplane is claimed by a German Lufthansa machine, which is reported to have made a flight of over 6,000 miles without a halt.
The flying-boat, with a crew of four on board, was catapulted from the steamer Westfalen off Start Bay, Devon, at 1 pin., G.M.T., on March 27, and descended at Caravellas, Brazil, at 905 this morning, G.M.T.
Caravellas is the centre of the whale fishery of the Abrolhos islands.—Reuter, Journalist Dies in Air
