There are now three editions of TIME AIR EXPRESS, with another soon due to appear. Most of these copies are still printed in this country on the world's fastest offset presses, then sped to Latin America by plane. But last year we began printing an edition for Mexico and Central America in Mexico City; last month we began printing in Bogotá for the north coast of South America-and very soon we hope to launch a third Latin American edition in Buenos Aires...

The R.A.F. has formed its own Transport Command to work with British Overseas Airways Corp., whose transport operations have been sadly crimped. The R.A.F.'s famed Ferry Command, which has been whisking bombers across the North Atlantic for almost two years and has lately spread to the South Atlantic, will be subordinated...
