16 hours and 43 minutes
WHAT DOES IT TAKE to set a World Duration Record? At the very least, it takes a dedicated individual who has a dream and is willing to spend the necessary hours carrying his dream forward. Plenny Bates is the individual who had the dream and the persistence to make the dream come true. Credit must also be given to Maynard Hill for his technical advice and encouragement throughout the program. Don Lindley of Standard Oil deserves thanks for his technical advice on fuel and oil and for a supply of L-50 oil.
