The Experience of Nine Years

I can give your readers the result of my experience in nine years of commercial flying. I believe that Senator Bingham is doing the necessary thing to bring commercial aviation to the front. I think the principles of his bill are beneficial, although some of the regulations pertaining to student fliers should be altered to allow them to secure actual commercial flying experience, by permitting them to do flying of a commercially safe nature; namely the carrying of freight or express cargos, but not allowing them to carry passengers until such a time as experience has proven their ability.

United States Air Forces

Lieutenants, especially first lieutenants, who have had no foreign service, will soon be due for such service. In this connection the following table is of interest: From the above it can readily be seen that, even if it were not necessary to consider such questions as availability (student at schools, etc.) or qualifications (radio, photo, etc.), some of the officers sent to Hawaii and Panama must be from among those who gave those stations as their third choice.

Letters to An Embryo Pilot

Your mother and I were pleased to get your letter telling of your safe arrival at Garden City. And we are very pleased with the snapshot of your instructor, Mr. Jones. If you feel it is absolutely necessary that you should purchase golf pants and long stockings like those worn by Mr. Jones, you may get them; though I thought I had bought the last long stockings for you several years ago.

Publisher’s News Letter

In support of the contention of AVIATION that aerial service is financially successful in this country, it is interesting to learn of the operations of E. A. Johnson of Dayton. He has a flying field, a hangar and a shop. His aerial service is typical of other fixed base operators.
