sermon. As a matter of fact, I
was so impressed, I put a hundred
dollar bill in the collection plate.”

Air Travel Five
Times Safer Than
Auto Or Taxi
It’s five times safer to take a
trip by U.S. scheduled airlines
than it is to travel an equal dis
tance by automobile or taxi.
The giant air transports of U.S.
domestic and international airlines
last year established their best
safety record in history, carrying
almost 31 million passengers a dis
tance of more than 18-billion pas
senger miles.
They did the jo'b with a fatality
rate of 0.48 per 100 million pas
senger miles, compared with a
rate of approximately 2.80 for
autos and taxis.
Further indication of the unre
mitting attention given by air
transport manufacturers to safety
is the perfect record achieved in
1953 by the Military Air Trans
port Service. While the airlines
were setting their new safety
mark, MATS airlifted in 1953
more than 500,000 passengers and
patients without a single fatality.
During this period, the military
airline carried an average of 54
passengers and six patients every
hcrur of the year—and, in addition
flew 82,000 tons of high priority
cargo and mail.
Every plane in the United
States scheduled airlines and mili
tary airlift fleet was produced in
this country, and more than 80
per cent of all scheduled airline
planes in the world are products
of United States aircraft industry7.
