Washington, Oct. 20.
President Roosevelt today ordered six "flying fortresses" on a goodwill flight to Rio de Janeiro to participate in November 15 ceremonies in honour of the fiftieth anniversary of the Republic of Brazil.
The crew of the squadron will be made up of 25 commissioned officers, and 24 enlisted men, and will leave Langley Field on Armistice day on November 11.
The squadron will fetlow the eastern seaboard and leave the continent at Miami. It was not revealed, however, whether the fight would be non-stop from Miami to Rio. The squadron will return to Langley field on November 25.—United Press.
