Captain Barnard announced today that he
would accompany Kingsford Smith on his

said. They were planning a series of
1,000 mile hops— the first to Rome.
Capt. Barnard achieved fame by flights

to India and back, and by a record return
flight to Capetown last April.
Since then he has made record non-stop
