AERONAUTICS: d'Oisy's Progress
Captain Pelletier d'Oisy, flying from Paris to Tokyo (TIME, May 12) arrived at Canton, China, was greeted by President Sun Yat-Sen* of South China and members of the French Colony. His total flying time from Paris was 80½ hours. D'Oisy reported heat waves and sand storms from Calcutta as the chief obstacles and predicts the stretch he has just crossed will be the most difficult for the American flyers.
* This was Sun's first appearance since his illness (see Page 12).
