From Our Own Correspondent
Salamaua, July 3.
THE achievement of Pilot Jack Jukes, flying the Guinea Airways W34 Jun kers No. 5, from Salamaua to Wan, should be noted.
He completed eleven trips in one day, carrying a total of 19,500 lbs. of cargo one way, in addition to back loading.
This is believed to constitute a world’s record, and certainly is a record for New Guinea.
The quickest return trip was com pleted in 35 minutes, including time oc cupied in unloading at Wau.
