WORLD FLYERS ALASKA-BOUND By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty left Khabarovsk at 4 o'clock (E.S.T.) this morning for Nome, Alaska, the longest leg of their world flight. The navy hydrograhpic office computed the distance at 2409 miles. With favorable weather the flyers should reach the Alaskan city about 11 o'clock tonight. The longest hop made by Post and Gatty up to the time they reached Khabarovsk was 2190 miles from Harbor Grace, N. F., to Chester, England. After reaching Nome they will have a 1900-mile hop to Edmonton, Alberta, and a 2000-mile hop to New York. If their last three hops are made non-stop, with only brief stops for sleep and refueling, the world flyers might reach their destination Wednesday night, a few hours less than nine days after their start. Their aim was to make the world flight in 10 days. Text Nome Alaska Washington State University: WSU Libraries Digital Collections Pacific
