Considerable excitement was afforded at the field when Paul Boyd lost half of his landing gear on the take off. J. P. Andrews in a Standard and Ireland in his Meteor hopped off in pursuit and finally caught up to Boyd.

During the coming year, regulations will be formulated for the application of the law. The year will, therefore, be a critical one, for, on the spirit of the regulations to be drawn and on the manner of their application, depends the question as to whether the law will foster or strangle civilian aviation.

The Aeronautical Engineer

THERE ARE, in most aeronautical enterprises of any considerable size, two parties. One, the flying personnel and the other, the men who put up the cash to start the enterprise. Both groups probably think that they know a good deal about the other groups problems but actually they do not.
