Hindenburg' Will Cross In 40 Hours Launching To Coincide With First Passage Of The Queen Mary

Friedrichshafen (Lake Constance, Germany), Mar. 31.

ON May 27 Britain's giant liner Queen Mary sets out into

the Atlantic on her maiden voyage. On the same day, almost at the same hour, France's giant Normandie leaves New York.

The world's eyes will be on the Atlantic as these two modern monsters, both being driven at topspeed, cleave her waters. Five days later the world's eyes will be on the sky above the Atlantic.
