Lindbergh told the Associated Pres
“The trans-oceanic flights which hav
been accomplished demonstrate th
feasibility of air transportation be
tween the continents and the trem
of future developments should be tc
ward making such transportation prac
tical under all conditions. The piou
•ering is over but the perfecting i
yet to be done. Regular trans-oceani
travel by air is no more practical tc
day than tranc-oceanic air lines were ;
half decade ago. Years of develot
ment in scientific research must be re
quired before such a regular inter
continental service can be successful!
inaugurated. During this experimer
tal period we may expect causualtie
vet to totally restrict these hazard
ous flights would have the same effec
on future trans-oceanic flying as th
air mail would have experienced ha<
it been abandoned during the heav
casualty period of pioneering day:
A few years following the flight c
Wright Brothers any flight was mor
dangerous than the trans-oceanic fl>
ing at the present time.”
