Much credit for the success of this flight goes to Ghislain Gosselin, pilot and Allen O’Neil, co-pilot and also to the mechanics, Robert Sid- way and Raleigh Brown who kept constant watch on all parts. The Redstone Landing Field in New York and the Gamer Field in Hollywood were kept in touch with the ship by radio operators Richard Philbin and Charles Misuraca at the field and Michael Mangini and Teddy Doyka in the air. The ship’s stewardess, Dorothy Henderson and her assistant Bertha Frigon, should also be congratulated for their efficiency. In fact the zeppelin could be called the hotel of the air. Its dining room under the able management of Pauline Bel- lomo and the food served by the popular waitresses, Ernestine Oliver and Ida Por- cello, cannot be beaten. Imag ine dancing up among the clouds to the strains of Ralph August and his orches- tra. His music is fine but it should be when his orchestra includes such widely known musicians as Tony Romano and Elliot Colby.

They were Margaret Orion- ele, Catherine Kiska, Mar- garet Porto. Mary Provan- zano, Mary Fiore and Eleanor Fowler. The crowd at the field to greet the arrival of the pas- sengers was enormous and the cheers they gave were deafening.
