AIRPORTS AND AIRWAYS

Greater Kansas City

Public interest has never been greater than it is here at present. The prospect of the Fokker factory locating here, the passing through of the Ford Reliability Tour, the coming aviation demonstration at Fairfax Field, Nov. 11, have all helped to stimulate an interest that dwarfs anything seen yet, The local boys are all hopped up over the advent of the air mail, The National Air Transport, which Paul Henderson is papa of.

The Loss of the Navy’s Seaplanes

THE WIPING out of a squadron and a half of our most modern naval three purpose type seaplanes is a disaster of such magnitude that it should be most carefully investigated and the causes ascertained. The Navy has suffered from a series of disasters that arouse sympathy, but as the accident which took place at Baltimore will probably be used as an argument to show the frailty and unreliability of aircraft, the matter cannot be passed over in silence even though it may seem somewhat like hitting a man when he is down.
