Daily Journal and Tribune, Knoxville, Tennessee: January 4, 1913, Transcribed by Bob Davis - 7-12-04 Arthur Faller, the aviator, today exceeded by five seconds the world's record for a duration flight in a biplane carrying five passengers. His time was one hour, six minutes and five seconds. The previous holder of the record was Henri Molla." Note from Bob Davis: Quite possibly this record category was short lived. There would be quite a few people in the record books if every time another passenger was carried, there was born a new category. Your website page for Rene Allard indicates that Molla flew a REP in the 1912 Circuit of Anjou. |
