In its place the Navy staged a series of record attempts in which the scheduled contestants and others put 17 world records in the book for U.S. Navy Class C Seaplanes. Two pilots of the racing team, Lts. G.T. Cuddihy and R.A. Ofstie, gave ample evidence of the winning potential of the CR-3's that have been groomed for the race. Cuddihy broke a maximum world speed record of almost two years standing; Ofstie broke three more over the 100, 200, and 500 kilometer distance. Lts. G.R. Henderson and O.B. Hardison, piloting PN-7 flying boats brought in for the purpose, established nine new records and broke four others in speed over 100 and 200 kilometers and in distance flown, all with payloads varying from 250 to 2000 kilograms. When the day's work was finished, the long count showed that the Navy held 20 of the 34 world records for seaplanes. 34 NAVAL AVIATION NEWS
