Aeronautics: Allegheny Lights
When a pilot can see anything at all over the Alleghenies he is thankful. One night last week Pilot Leigh R. Murphy of United Air Lines, flying mail & passengers between Newark and Cleveland, found what he called record visibility for the route. At one time he could see eleven beacons, spaced ten miles apart. At 6,000 ft. above Allentown, Pa., he reported he could see simultaneously the glare from the lights of Philadelphia, Trenton and New York, 100 mi. away.
