The J-300 was a long-range version of the CH-300 Pacemaker. Repainted in orange and maroon in preparation, NR13137 took off for a non-stop transatlantic flight to Rome on 13 May 1937, but pilots George Pond and Cesare Sabelli came down in Ireland with a broken fuel line. They 'walked into Lahinch almost unobserved and, going to the Commercial Hotel there, booked rooms and went off to bed'. They eventually reached Rome and embarked on a reverse crossing, but crashed the aircraft into the Mynydd Carningli mountain, Wales, on 19 August. Pond and Sabelli were unhurt.
