Flies 933 Miles In Thirteen Hours.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 11, 1913:
Brindejonc des Moulainais Beats the Aeroplane Distance Record.
FROM PARIS TO WARSAW
Makes the Flight In Half the Time of Fastest Express — Speed of 140 Miles an Hour.
    PARIS, June 10.— The young French aviator, Marcel G. Brindejonc des Moulainais, to-day beat all distance records by flying from Paris to Warsaw by way of Berlin, a distance of 1,500 kilometers, (approximately 933 miles,) in 13 hours, and excluding stops, attained an average speed of 150 kilometers, (93.3 miles per hour.) He accomplished this in the competition for the Pommery Cup, offered for the longest flight across country from sunrise to sunset in one day, with stops if necessary.
    To give some idea of his achievement it may be stated that the Nord Express, one of the fastest trains in the world, takes 18 hours for the trip from Paris to Berlin and 27 hours for that from Paris to Warsaw.
    The aviator left Villacoublay at 3:55 o'clock this morning, his departure being duly chronicled by the Recording Commissioners of the Aero Club. A strong southwesterly wind was blowing. He rose at once to a great height and went off at great speed. The first news concerning his progress was received from Wanne, in Prussia, where he landed at 8 A.M. He continued his journey to Berlin at 9:30, descending in the Aerodrome at Johannisthal at 12:04 P.M., where an enthusiastic reception awaited him.
    Brindejonc des Moulainais's actual flying for the 925 kilometers, (575 miles,) was six hours and thirty-nine minutes. After taking luncheon at Berlin with the military aviators he resumed his journey to Warsaw, where he landed safely at 6:15, well ahead of the sundown limit.
    His flight beats the record made by Ernest F. Guillaux from Biarritz to Kollum, Netherlands, by 170 kilometers. The Matin has received a dispatch from Brindejonc des Moulainais at Warsaw, saying:
    "I arrived here despite a very strong wind, which made me dance up and down. I covered 1,500 kilometers in eight hours' of flight. Isn't that a good average? The day after to-morrow I shall continue on to St. Petersburg."

    BERLIN, June 10.— The news from Warsaw that Brindejonc des Moulainais had landed safely there after fighting a storm all the way from Berlin completes the record of a most remarkable aeroplane flight, in which a speed of 140 miles an hour was made between Wanne and Berlin, and more than 93 miles averaged during the entire trip.
    When the aviator landed at Johannisthal he was utterly exhausted and had to be helped out of his seat. He rested for three and a half hours and started again in a forty-one-mile gale, laughingly disregarding the warnings of the military aviators.
    His average speed was greater than appears from the figures, because he lost considerable time hunting for Wanne in a heavy fog.
    Sachsen Returns to Lake Constance.

    FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, June 10.— The dirigible balloon Sachsen, which made the flight from Baden-Baden to Vienna yesterday with Count Zeppelin on board, returned to Lake Constance from Vienna to-day after a stormy voyage.
