What Our Readers Say

Airline Revenue To THE EDITOR : Through your magazine, AVIATION, I have been following the efforts being made to stimulate passenger carrying by “publicity,” “reduction of rates,” etc., and I wonder if we are really making progress.

Side Slips

They explained that nowadays it was getting increasingly harder to obtain a good Jenny from any source, and they thought that the readers of AVIATION might appreciate a few experienced pointers on what to look for when buying a Jenny.
