MATTERN PLANS OAKLAND-MOSCOW FLIGHT.—James Mattern, of around the world flying fame, is shown just before leaving Oakland, California, for Los Angeles where he took delivery of the new Lockheed twin-engined transport in which he hopes to hop, nonstop, from Oakland to Moscow. He flew to Oakland to confer with Soviet aviators whose east-west flight from Russia was recently terminated at Portland, Oregon. Mattern plans to take-off about the middle of August. He was undecided as to whether he would take a navigator with him or would rely on a mechanical pilot which will be a feature of his new aeroplane.
