A very important factor is the wind. Regard for this accounts for the decision of the French pi- lots to start from America.
By so doing they had a very good chance of a favourable wind not only across the Atlantic, but for a great distance beyond. For the same reason, Mr. and Mrs. had intended to start Mollison from the western side of the At- lantic.
The wind was, in fact, favour- able for MM. Codos and Rossi across the Atlantic, although they met with Fales which kept the sea from their view, and caused them to fly "blind."

The record was only a secondary considera- tion in that fight, the object of which was, it is true, to get as great a distance as possible, but to land in British territory.
It would have been quite pas- sible to have sent the seroplane to America, and by flying easi to have at any rate rivalled the rezord just made by Rossi and
Codos.
It would be possible by using a more advanced engine now avail- able and by very minor modifica- tions to the machine to fly from Cranwell to Cape Town, a distance of 6,118 miles. This could be done. even in conditions no better than those in which Bqdn-Ldr. Gayford and Fit.-Lt. Nicholletts made their great night.
