Chicago, Ill.

Chicago’s airport plans and activities are as extensive as any in the world. Five municipal fields supplemented by five private fields provide ample accommodation for Chicago’s present air transport service. Chicago has outlined a definite policy in the design and construction of its airports, the ultimate objective being a large, central, supply and maintenance field from which airplanes are to hop to the nearby operating fields, to be loaded, and to which they return after depositing their loads.

Cincinnati, Ohio

Hugh Watson, operator of Watson Airport and distributor for Travel Air planes, sold two 0X5 jobs recently. The buyers were Stockart and Barnett, of Ft. Wayne, Ind., and William E. Leedy, of Youngstown, Ohio. As Leedy purchased Watson’s demonstrator there was nothing left for him to do but order another 0X5 plane from the factory.
