...MEETING OF EAST AND WEST: AN INQUIRY CONCERNING WORLD UNDERSTANDING (531 pp.)-F.S.C. Northrop-Macmillan...
Professor Northrop, Master of Yale's Silliman College, is a man who has something important to say. What he has to say embraces so many facts with such assurance, and is so radical and so constructive, that his book may well influence history, as he seriously proposes that it should...
...step by step without shirking-a method which the author uses to create a good deal of intellectual suspense. The book arrives at a philosophical basis for world culture.

The wing is 7½ feet thick, big enough to house: 1) a 15-man crew; 2) four 3,000-h.p.

He claims that Flying Wing transports could carry 25% more weight 25% farther and faster than a conventional plane of identical power and weight. And it would be better suited for the upcoming jet motors. Northrop has built and flown four smaller two-motored models of this design. But when the big wing is test-hopped in two months, his theories will get their toughest practical test...
