The Air Mile.

The air mile is a unit Of measure
ment that came into use with the ad
vancement of aviation. We have the
land mile and the sea mile. which is
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land mile Of America. The nautical
mile is often incorrectly called knot.
but knot is measure of both dis
tance and time. 1t is correct to say
that vessel makes ten knots, but to
say that she makes ten knots an hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile 1t is a land mile minus the
retardation of an adverse wind or plus
the accleration of a favoring wind.
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over a given point
on the earth's surface. - BrowninGs
