Electrical Experimenter (08:01) May 1920

Hugo Gernsback, editor

1920
"Major Schroeder established his new world's record of 36,020 feet. With his supply of oxygen nearly exhausted, his senses numbed by the severe cold of 67° below zero, his airplane covered with frost and ice, and with his eyes partially frozen, Major Schroeder lost control of his machine and plunged earthward for a distance of 5 miles. Having recovered his flying senses at about 2,000 feet above the ground, he managed to get his machine out of the diving angle, and glide to a graceful landing."
