Range

I briefly included a range of 9,800 km (about 6,100 mi) given by Les Ailes (26 June 1930, cited). However, a later note (Les Ailes 14 August 1930} put some doubt on the claim, which came from the manufacturers. I've therefore removed it, at least for now.TSRL (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC) The figure of 70 hr duration is also worrying, since at 125 mph that is 8750 mi!TSRL (talk) 20:08, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
