100% American Trenton
Great Long Distance Strain.
===========================
Let us look at a few records flights by the Trentons:
in July 11, 1913, a Blue Checker half Trenton known
as 'Bullet' homed into Fort Wayne from Abilene, Texas,
1000 miles late in the afternoon of the 2nd day to the
loft of Oscar Anderson, a world record in 1 day, 11
hours, and 24 minutes, and 6 seconds making a speed of
1042.54 yards per minute.
On the 24th of June, 1927, 'Bullet's' record was broken
by 'Wayne Jr.' a full Trenton bred and flown into Fort
Wayne by C.W. Oetting. 'Wayne Jr.' flew 1005 miles to
his home loft in I day, 10 hours, 22 minutes and 20
seconds, with a speed of 1122.43 ypm. Much has
happened since then in relation to this fabulous strain.
In fact one of the great exponents of the Trenton's-
Milton Haffner of Fort Wayne, Indiana, according to my
sources in a period of 21 years sent 79 birds to races of
1,000 mile distances and realized a percentage of 71%-
that is 57 returns.
This is phenomenal! One of the latter a cock
named 'Spotty' flew 1,000 miles five times collecting a
first and a second with his last race at the age of nine
years old. And today representatives of the strain
continue to cross the one thousand miles barrier. In fact
this great strain of distance racing pigeons went on to
create a lasting legacy as the foundation of many of the
great long distance lofts in the United States of America.
