RECORD SEPTEMBER 8, 1931 AVIATRIX SILENT ON THREE-DAY ABSENCE Bernarr MacFadden Plane Misses Continental Mark. Louis C. Reichers, Arlington aviator who failed by 12 minutes and 32 seconds Friday to beat the transcontinental air record, today left Teterboro airport in his ship, Gold Eagle, for Cleveland. The plane was overhauled by airport mechanics. Meanwhile Miss Manila Davis, 28, blonde flyer, landed her ship at Teterboro and walked hastily from the field after being three days overdue from Cleveland. She landed last night and refused to explain the delay. The Gold Eagle, owned by Bernarr Macfadden, magazine publisher, is covered with gold leaf and bears an enlarged facsimile of a $10 piece–the gold eagle–on its body. George De Garmo, head of the New Standard Flying Service, revealed that Reichers taught Macfadden to fly at the airport recently. The ship is identical with Colonel Lindbergh's Lockheed-Sirius monoplane, except its landing gear can be lifted inside the ship. Miss Davis, runner-up in the women's amateur division of the national air races, borrowed a biplane last week to participate in the air derby. She finished ninth.

J., Sept. 7 (AP).–Three days overdue from Cleveland, and listed as missing, Manila Davis, 28 years old, an aviatrix, swept down to a perfect landing tonight and walked from the flying field, ignoring questions as to why she was so late. Miss Davis, who is said to come from West Virginia, has been an enigma at the airport here. Very little is known about her. Last Thursday she borrowed a biplane to participate in the amateur air derby from Hicksville, L. I., to Cleveland, which took place on Friday. Saturday airport officials read that Miss Davis had finished ninth in the derby. They expected her back some time Saturday forenoon. She failed to appear and efforts were made to locate her. She was still unreported Sunday and anxiety increased. [[/newspaper clipping]] [[newspaper clipping]] NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, SEPTEMBER 8, 1931. MRS.
