| Description: | Rolling, light in contrast and imagery Bird-Woman Hops Over Ocean For New Air Record Exclusive pictures show the landing, in a dangerous bog, made by Mrs. Beryl Markham at the end of the blonde English mother's record-breaking flight westward across the Atlantic from Great Britain. Thousands give the bird-woman a tumultuous greeting as she reaches gotham. In a dramatic newsreel interview, the flier shows evidence of the strain her amazing escape from death had upon her. A police escort whisks her to her New York hotel where she tells her plans for the immediate future. | |
