NIGHT FLYING NO BAR
TO the Aerial Express Service Between
London and Cairo.

London, Oct. "a Correspondence Of the
Associated Press Danger of flying at
night will not interrupt the aerial ex-
press service already being planned here
for flights between London and Cairo or
Calcutta, say aviation experts. The
great machines designed for this work
will fly by compass throughout the night,
with powerful lamps lighted on their
wings and the instruments in front Of
the pilot brilliantly Illuminated. Lights
will be turned on in the cabins and the
members of the crew who are off duty
viii turn in and sleep, as they do on
steamships.
If the weather has been bad during the
day -time and it clears up at dusk, the
delayed machines will leave at once in
order that their cargoes and passengers
may be delivered on time at their desti-
nation. 1t is believed that business men,
travelling from London to Petrograd or
Rome, viii prefer to journey at night, so
that they may sleep during the voyage
and waste no time.
The wind, an important factor in avia-
ton, is nearly always less strong at
night.
Each airplane viii carry powerful
navigation lights, visible 20 or 80 miles
off, and also luminous number. There
will be FREQUENT landing places along the
way, so that whatever its need, ma
chine will always be able to land.
Each landing ground will be brilliantly
lighted and near it illuminated wind ar
rows will automatically indicate the di-
rection of the wind, knowledge of
which is essential to the pilot of a ma
chine about to land All machines land
ing will display bright light of par
ticular color, in order to warn pilots of
other machines of its intentions.
Aerial lighthouses probably will be
used in the same way as coastal light
houses. They will consist presumably Of
vertical search lights, flashing on and of,
twin searchlights, colored searchlights, or
bright flashing lights on the ground.
Machines will be able to land either at
sea or on the ground and will carry large
flares to light up the ground below in
case of forced landing.
All that war conditions have taught
the allied airman will be of immense
value in organizing night flying after the
war.
