Code for the Air Transport Industry

AIR TRANSPORT is in an exceptional position in relation to the NRA. It is one of the relatively few industries that has been growing since 1929 and that has a larger employment now than it did at the beginning of the depression. A strict application of the general NRA rule of restoring 1929 employment in each industry would call for no changes of hours at all in this case, but in practice it is recognized that some industries can’t possibly get back to their 1929 figures and that others more happily situated or more rapidly growing will have to take up the slack.

From that time until the last half of the last leg of the flight the weather was almost continuously bad.

World Wide Markets

THIS ISSUE of AVIATION is frankly devoted to the endeavor to find new markets for American aeronautical products. In order that such an endeavor may be worth while, certain conditions must be met. The products must be good enough to maintain the market on their own merits after an opening has once been found for their acceptance on a trial basis.
