THE ENDURANCE FLIGHT ENDS SUCCESSFULLY      At 7:19 p.m., even though we only had about a hundred foot wide runway, the old plane settled down on the beach just as though it was a regular thing. We taxied up to meet our friends and the excited crowd that had gathered. It was a relief to be able to stand upright and take more than two steps without bumping into something. After an hour or two, our hearing was back to normal. SELECTION FROM WALTER'S JOURNAL
