World Flight Delayed by Weather
Daily Report
by Lt. L. P. Arnold, "Chicago", Mechanic
We arose early and went to the Air Mail Field at Maywood to prepare for the flight to Omaha. A dense fog engulfed the field and after waiting until 1:30, today's flight was postponed. We went back to the Chicago Beach Hotel for the afternoon and had dinner there. In the evening, we went to Selwyn Theater accompanied by Mr. Diggan & Duncan Sist.
