A Flying Tour of Europe

IN THE two previous articles the air lines of Northern and Eastern Europe have been given a preliminary if sketchy outline. The trip, covering as it does a journey of approximately 21,000 miles would take too much space to cover in detail and in this third of the series the Southern European air routes will be given a short study.

The Voice of the Sky

At the National Air Races at Model Farms Field, Philadelphia, the greatest innovation of the year in aeronautics was presented to the public for the first time. A singing and talking airplane, flew at 3000 to 5000 feet sending forth voices and music, which could be heard by people on the ground without the use of any radio receiving set or any other artificial means.

Publisher’s News Letter

The next subject of great interest to the aeronautical public that will be discussed this year will be the important matter of aircraft regulation by the Department of Commerce. It is so important that it is difficult to emphasize the effect that it may have on the future of the whole development of the art, science and industry.

Side Slips

Well, Sir, I and the flivver finely arrived at the National Air Races and it was very good. That is, the races was good, but the place where they was held was called “Model Farms” and they must have used the part what is the cow yard or the pig pen in normal times.

Growth of Commercial Aviation in Italy

The first commercial air line in Italy was inaugurated at Trieste on April 1, 1926, when the Societa Italiana Servizi (S.I.S.A.) began operations between Trieste and Turin, with stops at Venice and Pavia. Up to June 1 the company maintained flights every other day, but on that date daily flights were instituted.
