...Sirs: Lack of time prevented my writing you, expressing my appreciation of your again placing "March of Time" on the air. I am glad now that I waited, as I want to answer Mr. William L.

Also, he would be hampered by numerous flight restrictions. Not long ago rates were even higher. Prime reason was lack of data on amateurs' accidents, forcing the conclusion that all private flyers were bad risks. Last fortnight the U. S. Amateur Air Pilot's Association announced a plan by which its 450 members might get insurance against everything but crash about 30% cheaper, free of most...
