and it powered their Bellanca monoplane across 4500 miles of Pacific ocean in 41 hours. 

The log of the first non-stop crossing of the nort Pacific adds one more page of brilliant drama to the Pratt & Whitney record of reliability - a record based on sound and design, precise craftmanship and relentless inspection and test. Small wonder that Wasp and Hornet engines stand highest in the estimations of private, military and transport pilots. Ample reason for their complete acceptance as power plant equipment for America's major air transport lines.
