Summary: | Flyers Sighted At Yukon River. FLYERS SIGHTED AT YUKON RIVER WHITE HORSE, Yukon, June 30. (UP)—A plane believed to be that of Wiley Post and Harold Gatty over Carmacks, 200 miles north of here at 7:15 a. m. today. It is almost certain that it was the ship of the world flyers as neither of the Treadwell-Yukon company's planes were in the vicinity at the time. The plane was flying south. Carmacks is on the Yukon river. The flyers had been on their way almost three hours when the plane was sighted over Carmacks, at 7:15 a. m. Yukon time, is 8:15 P. S. T. If the plane sighted was that of Post and Gatty, they had traveled about 450 miles in direct air line from Fairbanks on their way to Edmonton. (See first page, second section for details of flight.)
