German Glider Pilot Here Essayed Flight Over Sea; Forced to Stop in Iceland
     ____________________
    In the hangar of the Elmira Airport is a low-wing monoplane which helped partly to realize dreams of an aerial conquest that were told last week by Wolf Hirth of Germany, one of the kings of motorless aviation, who came to Elmira for the first national soaring contest.
    On the eastern front of Prussia during the World War, Hirth, then a boy of 18, served in the armies of the great German leaders as they moved against Russia. The fleet war birds, droning back from the battle fronts, brought tales of hope to take part, for he wore glasses and the government had decreed that only men with perfect events in which he could never eyes could serve the Fatherland in the air.
    A slight lad Hirth was in no sense a common soldier. Deprived of the privelege of piloting a plane.

    "With not much to do, sometimes," Hirth declared, "I would look up at the stars at night and see my plane on its way to America. More than anything else, I wanted that dream to come true."

    At last, when the war was over, it began to seem possible, but the treaty of peace forbade Germany to have any power aircraft within her borders for six years. In the meantime he learned to fly gliders like most other German aviation enthusiasts. The ban on airplanes forced the Teutons to turn to gliding, and it is the experience gained in these six years which gives Germany its present world precedence in gliding.
    While he was waiting, Hirth acquired an education as an aeronautical engineer. He worked with a number of celebrated designers, including Laubernthal, whom Hirth helped design the Musterle, the glider he brought to this city. Finally the ban on engines was up and Hirth bought a 40-horse-power monoplane. With the end of his rainbow almost within sight, he took off one day for North America, flying close to the Artic Circle. He landed in Iceland, where the government refused permission to continue his flight until he had paid 12,000 Danish crowns, about $2,000 in American money.
    "I did not have much money, so I put the plane on a boat and sailed for Montreal," Hirth remarked. From Montreal he flew to Syracuse, from which he came last Sunday to Elmira.

               Owns Two Gliders
               _________________
  With him in the U.S. Hirth has two gliders, the Musterle and a Pruefling which is still in Syracuse. In Germany, the Musterle, withits instruments and parachute, cost about $2,500, but it could not be duplicated in America for less than $5,000, Hirth and August Haller of Pittsburgh, another contestant of note, declare.
    One of Hirth's world records, now surpassed, was an ascent of 4,000 feet above his starting point in a glider. Another he held was that for longest distance flight and return. This took him seven miles away and back, making a total of 14 miles when he landed on the starting point.
    Hirth's fame as a pilot preceded him here, and shortly afterhe arrived an uncle living near New Orleans saw his picture in the paper and wrote to Hirth's father, asking if it were his nephew. No word has been heard from the uncle for 46 years, but he thought he recognized a family resemblance in the cut.
    For bringing his brother back to light, Hirth's father remarked that it was the only good thing ever to come out of his son's aviation acheivements.
    In Germany, Hirth says, gliding has taken the place of many games as a means of recreation. Competent supervisors and instructors are provided for lads who want to learn the principles of the art, and the schools set aside periods and allow credit for work done on gliders and gliding, just as credit for manual training is given here.
