Air Sleepers

Piloted by Edward Stinson, a pioneer aviator, with Charles Dickinson and Arthur Gray of the Aero Club of Illinois as passengers, a Junker metal monoplane made an all-night non-stop fight from Chicago to Mitchel Field, L. I. Flying steadily at 100 miles an hour, by moonlight to Cleveland, in total darkness thereafter, the plane completed the journey in eight and a half hours without the shadow of a mishap. This is a forerunner of the aerial sleeper. The 20th Century Limited serves the business man at present better than an airplane flying only by day, but to make a night trip to Chicago without losing an hour of the working day may be of real value.
