Foynes, Ireland, Sunday, Aug. 13. (UP)—Two young "do or die" American fliers failed to appear over Ireland al 2:14 a. m. today and fe:irs increased that they were lost in the Atlantic. The fliers, Alex Loeb, 32, and Dick Decker, 23, took off in an antiquated Ryan monoplane from St. Peters, Nova Scotia, at 11:14 a. m. (EST) Friday for Ireland and "possibly Palestine." They said they had "some swell information" about trans-Atlantic flying from their friend, Douglas Corrigan, the "wrong way" flier who left New York for California and landed in Ireland. They said they had enough fuel to last them 35 hours. The plane they used was the same type used by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927, and, like "The Lone Eagle." they followed the Great Circle route. Due Karly Saturday They had hoped to reach Foynes in 22 hours iby 9:14 a. m. EST today) but the British Air Minis¬ try reported early tonight that Ihere had been nn reports of the plane being sighted. There was no radio equipment on the plane, which had fuel enough for 35 hours flying However, it was estimated at this flying base that the monoplane'* fuel supply had given out about 4 p. m. (12 noon EST). Tonight, 12 hours after the fliers had hoped to land in Ireland, it was generally believed that they were doomed unless they had suc¬ ceeded in landing in some remote part of the country or been picked up by a siiip without wireless. Fnund Fog, Rain The fliers, it was said, faced a fog bell on the first part of the flight, good weather in mid-ocean and then rain, clouds and fog up to 300 miles from the Irish Coait, where weather and visibility wmV good throughout the day. Like Corrigan's flight from New York to Dublin last summer, tha flight of Loeb and Decker was with¬ out authorization by the United States Department of Commerce. Loeb is a commercial pilot with 1,600 hours flying experience, Daclc- er had only 10 hours In the air when he took off.
