According to Dewoitine, the designer and builder, who arrived here on the Paris, the machine can be built for $400. Perhaps we have here the safe, easily handled airplane, flown anywhere, which will place aerial joyriding within the reach of every adventurous young...
Wells, English novelist, who predicted aerial warfare with such accuracy in 1909, bitterly assailed the Air League of Great Britain, which is advocating an increased fleet. According to Wells, an air war between two countries such as France and England virtually means suicide. A few bombing planes can destroy an entire city. No corner of the combatant countries is safe from attack and defense is virtually impossible.

Apart from the added proof of airplane endurance, the flight is a significant demonstration of the fact that low clouds cannot deter skilled aerial navigators...

Millions of people in the Middle West will nightly witness an artificial aurora borealis, visible fully 50 miles from its source. This will be created by sweeping lights of great aerial beacons at the five regular fields in Chicago, Iowa City, Omaha, North Platte and Cheyenne. These beacons will each have 600,000,000 candlepower. Unlike shore lighthouses, the beams of light will be thrown upwards, making three complete revolutions every minute so that pilots can easily pick them up. Smaller beacons with a visibility of only 30 miles will be placed at emergency fields every 25 miles along...
