WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (/^—Sub
stantial development in the progress
tary, together with several notable
respectively by an airplane and a
of aviation, both commercial and mili
exploits of flying, including flights
dirigible over the North Pole, was re
corded during 1926.
While the United States took the
lead in the private ownership and ap
eration of aircraft and is well in the
front rank in the technical develop
ment of military aircraft, it was a
notable feature of the aviation pro
gress in 1926 that European nations,
especially the Latin countries, made
enormous strides in their flying de
velopment.
There is a pessimistic note, how
ever, in American aviation circles
in the comparison of American and
European commercial use of planes.
While the United States commercial
flying has displayed encouraging de
velopment, in Europe large airplanes,
engaged in commercial and passenger
carrying flights, are being used ex
tensively mainly supported by govern
mental subsidies. Passenger carry
ing services in the United States
have not been unusually financially
successful and aviation in this country
must largely pay its own way, but the
government is endeavoring to pave
the way by establishing and main
taining airways without resorting to
the subsidy policy.
A note of the future progress of
commercial aviation is sounded in the
plan of the Postoffice Department to
turn over its air mail routes, entire
ly to private companies in 1927. Avi
ation authorities claim that the main
problem, facing the flying industry
to place it on a self-supporting basis,
is to establish substantial reductions
in cost of construction, operation and
maintenance, together with better
ment of the safety of aerial navi
gation.
Probably as an index for the rosy
future of aviation in America the nota
blle feature of 1926 was the clarifi
cation of aeronautical legislation, in
cluding the appointment of aviation
secretaries in the Department of
Commerce, Navy and War and the
five-year program for the army and
navy air corps.
What the Coolidge administration
thinks of aviation is expressed in the
increase in the air budget of the gov
ernment by $7,210,000 for 1928, de
spite the administration’s policy of
economy. The President recommend
ed ito Congress, appropriations of
$523,000, an increase of $10,000 for
the National Advisory Committee on
Aeronautics; Army $24,396,300, an in
crease of $4,000,000; Navy $4,855,850,
a $200,000 increase and Commerce,
$3,219,500, an increase of $3,000,000.
