The First Airplane Radio Broadcasting

The airplane will in the future become an important link in the art of radio broadcasting. Through the cooperative experiments made by The Radio Corporation of America, Maj. Willam N. Hensley, Commanding Officer of Mitchel Field, Lowa Island, and AVIATION, the practicability of using airplace radio transmitters to broadcast in connection with the powerful radio stations, was demonstrated on Aug. 14, in New York City, after a series of tests covering a period of two months.

Increase in Japan’s Air Force

The Japanese Army reorganization program has been finally put in shape, says an Associated Press despatch dated Tokio, Aug. 27. It is authoritatively stated that the new plan will abolish four divisions and other minor units, resulting in a saving of 18,000,000 yen. Of this saving, 13,000,000 yen will be allotted to the establishment of twelve air squadrons, equally divided between pursuit, scout and bombing squadrons, a tank corps, anti-aircraft units, motor transport, schools of chemical warfare and research and a school for non-commissioned ofiicers.

The Small Operators

Everyone’s grasp of aviation development is necessarily limited, due to lack of intimate contact with a large number of aircraft users. Our connections are likewise restricted, and our acquaintance is only with a small portion of those who constitute the bulk of fliers and who are the basis of commercial aviation as we know it today.

PUBLISHER’S NEWS LETTER

James Harxness, Ex-Governor of Vermont, a pilot since 1916, expresses in The Stevens Indicator a truism that has a peculiar application to aircraft design and development.

No Rest for Record Breakers

I enclose certain extracts from “The Non-Stop Flight Across America" by Macready which appeared in the National Creo graphic Magazine recently. I also enclose certain imaginary extracts which are self-explanatory. Perhaps you can use these to emphasize the absurdity, and what might be the tragedy, of permitting highly skilled officers to do manual, mechanical labor prior to undertaking a great test of courage and endurance.
