Commercial Aviation

History shows that every invention which has afforded an improvement in transportation methods has led to world-wide adoption; and furthermore, the history of progress has been largely history of improved transportation. Any method of travel which is safe, comfortable and delightful and which permits the business man to reduce the distance, in time, between two cities to one-third or one-fifth of what it now requires, must ultimately prove popular.

Aeronautical Lessons From Europe

In going back and forth between Europe and America, I have discovered a very curious bit of psychology. In this country it seems to be the style, among those aeronautically inclined, to hold Europe up as a model, to call particular attention to her selected successes in commercial aviation, her government subsidies, her published statistics, with exhortations to the United States to go and do likewise.

Granting that satisfactory insurance protection is necessary as a foundation on which to build up commercial aviation, and admitting also that companies offering this form of protection have had a tendency to continually increase the rates and at the same time narrow the coverage, it is not to be wondered at that the aeronautical industry is demanding an explanation.
