Probably the first ship of its kind ever to land here, a U. S. Army bomber stopped briefly at the Ann Arbor airport yesterday, on a routine flight from Wright field, Dayton, O., to Selfridge field at Mt. Clemens. Commanded by Lt. M. E. Bradley, the plane also carried as its crew Lt. D. F. Callahan, who was a postgraduate student at the University this year, and Major Philip Schneeberger, as observer. The ship has a 90-foot wing spread and is equipped to carry a ton of bombs. It was originally a Douglas transport, converted for army use.
