Ryan and Co. had with their new monoplane and partly because it is a lot of fun to build one yourself, for somebody else to fly.

Important Legislation

THE WINTER of 1925-1926 will be recorded as the most important in the history of peacetime American aeronautical legislation. For several years past the House, the Senate and the executive branch of the federal government have been conducting a series of investigations into the problems which confronted the development of aeronautics in this country. The investigations have been exhaustive and the reports have filled volumes.

Professional Pilots

AERONAUTICAL INTERESTS are divided into a number of different groups such as military manufacturers, civilian manufacturers, airline operators and professional pilots. These groups, of course, have common interests but they also have certain specialized problems which interest themselves especially and which are not of great interest to the other groups.
