A new "World record for two seater gliders was established by the two German airmen Boedecker and Zander, who succeeded in staying in the air for 50 hours and 15 minutes.
The two glider pilots started from the glider school at Rossitten at 1045 am. on Friday and remained in the air until noon on Sunday. During the whole of this time they cineled around between the starting point and the Kurische Nehrung at an altitude of 100 to 300 metres. In Spite of the biting cold and the bad visibility the airmen continued until they were completely exhausted.
The previous record, which was beaten by 10 hours, was held by the German Toni Kahlbacher and Joseph Fuehringer.—Trans-Ocean.
