Stockholders willing, a corporate fission will occur this autumn in a notable aviation name. Fairchild Aviation Corp. announced plans last week to divorce its engine and aircraft units from its aerial camera and survey business. The latter will be carried on by the present company. Shares in a new concern to be known as Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp. will be distributed share-for-share to stockholders in Fairchild Aviation...
...airport joyriders in the twilight of the 1920's. Depression hit the company as hard as it hit the rest of the industry, and in the last five years planes, on the average, have accounted for only one-fourth of Fairchild sales. The balance was derived from the aerial camera and survey divisions, in both of which fields Fairchild is an undisputed leader...
Upon Meyer's aerial artillery the outcome of the game largely depends. Last Saturday, Army's line did not turn in a world-beating account of themselves in their 27-16 victory against Columbia.

Only other U. S. airline to try the service since has been American, which started it with Condors between Los Angeles and Dallas in April 1934, found it popular (TIME, July 16, 1934). This service, no longer necessary, was discontinued last week. Other long-run airlines will probably put on service like American's new one as soon as their Douglas...
