An astonishing fight mc: le by two French airmen, Captain Rignot and Tient Coste, illustrates ina vivid manner the possibilities of aviation in the future. These two airmen left Paris on October 30 and, flying to Jask on the Persian Gulf without stop in 32 hours, created a record, From thence they proceeded Karachi which they accomplished in day and the next morning xt out for Calcutta which they hoped to reach the same day.

This, however, detracts nothing from their achievement which remains easily the fastest flight to and across India. The! previous holder of the record flight from Europe to India, by the way, was the French airman D'Oisy who left Paris on April 24, 1924, and] reached Karachi on April 29. Te reached Calcutta on May 5 vid Agr actual flying time from Karachi being 13 hours.
