The Future of American Air Racing

The time has come to consider all the benefits that air races offer and all the drawbacks and dangers that they entail, and then to choose a policy for the future in the light of all the facts at hand. The motives which lead to the organization of sporting events on large scale, or, in those cases where monetary inventive is lacking or negligible, to participation in such events, are various, but in general they can be alliteratively classified under the three heads of sport, spectacle or science.

PUBLISHER’S NEWS LETTER

In speaking of operating the air routes of the future, there seems to be a general tendency to place the work of inaugurating these lines on the backs of the aircraft constructors. They have been blamed for not producing commercial aircraft comparable to European air liners and for not operating regular air services.

U. S. NAVAL AVIATION

Plans for a cruise of the Navy airship Shenandoah with the fleet during the Spring maneuvers in Hawaiian waters next year may have to be revised because of the limited present, cruising capacity of the ship. As now equipped, the Shenandoah has a cruising radius of about 2,500 mi. without refueling, and it is understood that during the recent conference to plan for the employment of the ship during the next few months some of the experts raised the question whether it would be wise to send the big airship to Hawaii.

The Bristol Brownie Light Plane

The Bristol Brownie light plane with Bristol Cherub engine, won, it will be remembered, second prize in the two-place light plane competition held at Lympne, England, last September. This little ship was designed by Capt. S. F. Barnwell, who designed the Bristol Fighter of wartime fame, upon his return from Australia where he had spent some time on the staff of the Australian air force.
