Breakfast in London: Dinner in New York. This has become an actual possibility as a result of the remarkable trans-Atlantic record created by Howard Hughes and his crew of four, who successfully crossed the Atlantic to-day in their Lockheed monoplane "New York World's Fair, 1939" in the record actual flying-time of 16 hours, 38 minutes, says United Press.
The five airmen left New York at 7.20 a.m., Eastern Summer Time, and landed at Le Bourget Airport, Paris, at 4.20 a.m., Greenwich Summer Time. Racing against the sun they lost five hours through having to put their clock forward every few hundred miles. Had they been
