Lippmann bases his chief hopes for a protracted period of peace on Anglo-American agreement as the basis of the Atlantic system.

The company discreetly hinted that Employe Charles A. Lindbergh's experiments "may influence the design of the new plane." The sky Ford of the future (small models have been built) is being designed to land in relatively small space, to operate at a fraction of present big-plane flying cost.

After three years he switched to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He finished the grueling four-year course in two years. While at Tech he helped design one of the first airplane wind tunnels in the U.S.-and wind tunnels are to airplane research what the Bunsen burner was to chemistry.

He wanted to make his own planes...

All this planemaking interfered with his engineer's urge to design planes. But the Army changed his mind...
