HONOLULU, T.H., May 19--Completing the longest nonstop overwater flight in the world makes you understand why our country can never comfort isolationism and survive.
A late supper at San Francisco and an early breakfast in Honolulu makes the imagination run wild as to probabilities of world travel when peace again comes around.
We made the more than 2400 mile flight in less than twelve hours and the giant four-motored Douglas airliner loaded with forty-six people, including the crew of seven, rolled smoothly as a baby carriage on a polished floor.
Texas is well represented in the highly efficient Naval Air Transport which ferries everything from battleship parts to wounded from Okinawa and operates regularly scheduled flights from the mainland to Hawaii.
