Your article gives belated praise to the Viscount and to the Rolls-Royce Conway and Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire jet engines. But what about the license agreements in the U.S. for eight other British power plants ? . . . Your article does not mention the hundreds of smaller feeder aircraft. It is silent on the many military aircraft that have been supplied in a steady stream to our own R.A.F. and foreign air forces throughout the world...

But CAB thinks that the airlines underrate their strength, and points to the industry's own skyrocketing growth. In 1951 every U.S. carrier, both big and little, was on Government subsidy. Today only the smaller feeder lines and a few shaky trunk lines need a direct Government handout.

...board was first set up in 1938 has been to limit the number of trunk airlines to the 16 "grandfather" lines (American. Eastern, United, T.W.A., etc.) operating at that time. Since then, three have dropped out, but no new names have been added to the roster, though 27 small feeder services have been authorized. Instead of expanding existing airlines to fill all U.S. needs, North American wants the CAB to let it provide new service and competition...
