OUT OF the east she came buzzing—the great Gold Beetle, a five-ton F-5-L flying boat, with twin motors roaring. She had come up the Hudson from Manhattan, and headed inland between Haverstraw and West Point, on a line which would have brought her, in three hours’ steady flying, straight across New York State to Rochester.
