Jumpy, dull in contrast and imagery Taking off on his second flight across the Atlantic. Dick Merrill carries Jack Lambie along as co-pilot. Twenty hours later, word is flashed back that the intrepid aeronauts have landed in England with a new record for the crossing. Dick Merrill (who at this time a famous pilot), hops Atlantic Ocean for coronation. There's a crowd at the airport bidding their farewells to Dick. Plane taking off into the wild blue yonder. Aerial shot of plane flying.
