AERIAL EXPRESS SERVICE BETWEEN
LONDON AND CAIRO OR CALCUTTA.
PLANNED

After-the-War aerial express service already is
being planned for flights between London and
Cairo or Calcutta, say aviation experts
The great machines designed for this work
will fly by compass through the night with pow
erful lamps lighted on their wings and the in
struments in front Of the pilot brilliantly IL
Illuminated. Lights will be turned on in the
cabins and the members of the crew who are off
duty will turn in and sleep as they do on steam
ships. 1t is believed that business men will pre-
fer to journey at night so that they may sleep
during the voyage-from London to Rome, for
instance-and waste no time
Each airplane will carry powerful navigation
lights visible twenty to thirty miles off, and al
so luminous number. There will be frequent
landing places along the way so that, whatever
it's need, machine always will be able to land
and, near it, Illuminated wind arrows will auto
matically indicate the direction of the wind,
knowledge Of which is essential to the pilot of a
machine about to land
All machines landing will display bright
light Of particular color, in order to warn
pilots Of other machines Of it's Intentions
Aerial lighthouses probably will be used in the
same way as coastal lighthouses. They will con-
sist, presumably, of vertical searchlights fash
ing on and off, twin searchlights, colored search
lights, 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 or water below, in case of
forced landing
All that'war conditions have taught the allied
armies will be of immense value in organizing
night flying after the war, it is claimed
