it a point to work a five-hour day

or rather, a five-hour night.

Pilot Masaaki linuma of the Japanese record-breaking acro- plane Divine Wind, is earning for himself the title Inhuman linuma. A week-end of laziness would have been fitting after his gruelling four-day flight from Tokyo to London. But not for linuma, says a correspondent of the Daily Express.
