Dayton Air Races Have 175 Entries

The International Air Races which will be held at Wilbur Wright Field, Fairfield, Ohio, Oct. 2-3-4, next, have received a total of 175 entries, of which 152 are airplanes and twentythree are models. This is by far the greatest number of entries that any of the annual air races has received so far, and augurs well for the success of the meet.

U. S. NAVAL AVIATION

The Zeppelin airship ZR3, built for the United States Government, on Sept. 11 made her third trial flight, staying aloft 3 hr. The highest altitude reached by the airship was 3,600 ft., over Lake Constance, where nearly half the flying time was spent maneuvering, much to the disappointment of the passengers, who had hopes of flying over the Alps.

Publisher’s News Letter

The visit to this country of Charles Grey, editor of The Aeroplane to be the guest of AVIATION and a contributor to its columns during the Dayton and Baltimore Races is most timely. There is no one who has been a keener observer of the role of navies in peace and war than Mr. Grey.
