Commercial Aviation Supremacy

It is popularly supposed that Europe is far ahead of us in commercial aviation. This is only partly true. It is a fact that Europe is practically covered with a network of airlines, whereas we have none. But commercial aviation depends also upon the aircraft industry, and, in that, we are not so far behind.

London to Cape Town Flight

Capt. Alan Cobliam, the British commercial pilot, started from London on Monday, November 16, to fly to Cape Town, the southernmost point of Africa. The trip will cover more than 8,000 miles in the air. Most of it will be above territory never flown over before—over almost unknown and forbidding mountain ranges and dense jungles, where landing may be a matter of deadly peril.
