Resume of Air
Travel Facilities
The World Over
Not since passenger travel by
air ceased to be an occasional
adventure and became a sched
uled operation, less than a de
cade ago, has there been so much
evidence of expansion of air
ways, extension of services and
world-wide interest in air trans
port as during the past few
weeks. If recently announced
plans materialize, the flying tour
ist will be able to make regular
trips from New York to Europe
early next year, and to Bermuda
in a month or two. Other air
services are being prepared to
cross Canada and to expand op
erations toward the Far East.
Operators and designers alike,
it seems are looking to the strato
sphere as the next field of sched
uled transport in the interest of
smooth air, freedom from storm,
comparatively higher speeds and
enhanced passenger comfort.
This trend was indicated by the
announcement that huge Boeing
land monoplanes were being de
veloped for Pan American, de
signed to cruise at high speed at
altitudes of from four to seven
miles. Transcontinental and West
ern Air have ordered similar
planes, and United Air Lines has
been carrying on experiments in
supplying oxygen in passenger
cabjns. ,v t .
The North Atlantic picture will
Aot wait, however, to have many
- ■ of ifs details filled in for the ap
pearance of airplanes suitable
for operation at levels where the
air —'Without supercharging —is
rarefied beyonfl human endur
ance. The Postoffice Department
has recommended that $750,000
be appropriated to put into oper
ation Atlantic air service on a
schedule of four times a week in
each direction by Nov. 1 Mail ser
vice in this case as in every oth
er in which it has spun a new
strand of the airway web, is cer
tain to be followed very soon by
passenger service.
Pan American is already pre
pared for this type of operation
with large flying boats of the Si
korsky and Martin Clipper class
es which opened the Pacific air
way. Great Britain, through Im
perial Airways, as already tried
the wings of Cambria—one of
the twenty eight Short flying
boats constructed for her Empire
routes—in preparation for such
service linking the Old World to
the New by the Great Circle
route from Ireland to Newfound
land. On the last day of Feb
ruary this b<3at made several
flights along the Irish coast and
out over the Atlantic, using for
I."
the first time the transatlantic air
base at Foynes on the River
Shannon, in the Irish Free State.
Still larger aircraft for the At
lantic are being constructed both
in the United States and in Great
i Britain, including six two-deck
giants for Pan American which
have a gross weight of 82,000
pounds. The English-speaking
cousins, however, are not to have
this field entirely to themselves.
The Germans, whose Dornier
boats, Diesel-powered and launch
ed from a mother ship, roused in
terest last year, have already
made test flights with a very
large Atlantic four-engine boat.
The French have flying boats
for the Atlantic far enough ad
vanced to insure experimental
operation this summer, and the
Dutch, expressing through Al
bert Plesman, head of the Royal
Dutch Airlines, their conviction
that the Atlantic should be an
; arena of international coopera
tion and not of one or two party
monopoly, indicate that they are
prepared to build a very large
i and possible suib-stratosphere air
planes for the service.
Meantime, the British and Am
erican interests are steadily mak
ing ready for the service which
they will operate jointly. During
part of the year the service will
use the northern Newfoundland
Ireland route, and during anoth
er part of the year the longer but
less storm-beset southern island
route by way of Bermuda and
the Azores. At Bermuda the new
sea airport base is ready near
Hamilton, and Cavalier, another
British boat, has made successful
test flights there in preparation
j f°i service between the island
: and the mainland of the United
States, this last also to be a joint
j operation of Imperial and Pan
American due to begin in sixty
1 to ninety davs.
In Newfoundland, a giant air
i base, forty miles northwest of St.
'John, is under construction. As a
main operating base for the
northern leg of the transatlantic
service, a square mile of ground
has been carved out of the forest
terrain and near by, on Gander
Lake, construction is under way
of the base for water-going air
craft to complement the land air
drome, whose existence has been
memorialized by a new railway
station called “Newfoundland
Airport.”
The immense runways being
I built on the new field attest the
size of the aircraft which are con
‘emplated. Three of the runways
are 4,500 feet long and GOO feet
wide each. The fourth is to be
about a mile long and 1.200 feet
wide. Gander Lake, with excel
lent approaches and plenty of
surface, is said to be free from
ice throughout the year.
Turning from the Atlantic
field, the observer finds Canada
preparing her own complete

transcontinental airway with suit
able landing fields, radio beacons
and equipment to make through
service feasible from the Mari
time Provinces to the Pacific
Northwest. K. L. M., the Dutch
line, seeks to extend to Mon.la
its long line that now reaches
from Amsterdam to the rich
East Indies. At Manila, planes
would connect with the Pacific
service of Pan Amercian.
The Italians, like other com
mercial air power# enlarging the
size, speed and comfort of their
airplanes, are reaching out into
other fields than those of the pen
insula and of North Africa and
have recently made a contract to
provide cervice on the east coast
of South America. Britain’s new
Empire boats, favorably regard
ed for their comfort and flying
qualities, have greatly speeded
up service by way of the Medit
erranean and India to Singapore,
Hongkong and Australia and
down Africa to Cape Town. Pan
American itself will colse the fin
al gap in the Pacific service
when air mail and passenger ser
vice from the United States will
be extended from Manila to Ma
cao, there to connect with the
air lines of China and with those
of Great Britain at Hongkong.
Few persons realize that, with
the exception of one 700-mile gap
scheduled air service now spans
the Western Hemisphere almost
from pole to pole. Beginning at
Nome, one can take Pacific Al
aska Airways planes to Juneau,
thence a steamer to Seattle and
from Seattle again take to wings,
flying to Chicago and Miami, ac
ross the Caribbean to Panama,
down to Santiago, Chile, and
then ,on a newly opened link of
Chilean National Airlines ,to Ma
gallanes, at the tip of South Am
erica. With the exception of the
steamer gap, this route of 11,387
miles runs by air from within
1,500 miles of the North Pole to’
within 2,500 miles of the South
Pole. The running time is eight
days, including the two-dav
steamer trip.
BERLIN, Nov. — Germany's
economic minister, Walther Funk
predicted Germany would find
through Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,
and Turkey the raw material she
needs. ,
