The rapid progress made in the Tampa Airport in the last ninety days, puts it far beyond anything in the South, thanks to O. H. Pinaire, vicepresident of the Tampa Aeronautic Association and R. Wallace Davis, secretary of the City Commission, for the Airport now containing 240 acres.

Book Reviews

TRANSPORT AVIATION. By Archibald Black. Simmons-Boardman Pub. Co., New York. $3.00. With commercial air transportation increasing rapidly and now becoming a very definite and recognized means of travel, one of the greatest needs from the standpoint of the operator and engineer has been a complete and authoritative work dealing with all aspects of air transport and placing the whole subject in a clear and accurate manner for reference purposes.

Clarion, Pa.

This is not the write up of a new field but the delayed write up of an old one and as the activities here have never before been written I will start off with a brief history of how it came about and what’s been happening. The field was originally founded by the Air Mail as a stop between Bellefonte and Cleveland but when the DH’s were adopted as the standard mail plane, it (the field) was faced with the prospect of being abandoned.
