Airships in Long Distance Transport

The new Secretary of State for Air, Major F. Guest, M. P., came to a wise decision when he reversed, or rather suspended for a further period, the policy of his predecessor Mr. Winston Churchill in the matter of airships. Four months ago they had been condemned to disappear at once, for it had been decided that unless a commercial syndicate came forward to take over the existing airships and their organisation everything should be scrapped and the airship department closed down on May 1.

The construction of a temporary device for the support of an airplane on water in case of a forced descent has occupied the attention of various air services. The possibility of such a descent occurred to Wilbur Wright when he attached a canoe to the skids of his airplane for its historic flight from Governor's Island to Grant's Tomb and return, on Oct. 4, 1909.
