"If I had to make an Atlantic fight again," said General Balbo, "I would rather cross the ocean alone three times from one alde to another than cross It dnco In a formation flight."

A large part of the report is de- voted to the accidents to two ma- chines at Bolama. The fall machine was

the Arst duc to a false manoeuvre. The second accident, General Balbo believes, was due to a short circuit. An enormous flame a quarter of a mile long was visible on the sea to the other members of the flight. The two machines which Word forced to descend in the later part of the flight had been put out of action by the breaking of the radiators through the vibrations of the propellers. "Under the fierce drive of the rain in the tropics the wood is eaten into and splinters, consequently the propellers thus дуду produce vibrationa which are

very harmful to the

radiators."

General Balbe replies to the criticism of the late announcement of the fatal accident at Bolama, de- claring that the delay was due to their desire not to give inexact: information, their hopes that the crews might have survived, and finally, when the truth was known, the wish that the relatives of the victims should be informed pri vately before reading the news fi a public communique,
