italian aviation has established a new
record in the history of industry.
A New Born Industry.
To the immense and famous Italian
industrial centers, already strongly
organized and active In general auto.
mobile construction, was added the
new industry Of aeroplane construc-
ton. AS a result Italy today has over
10000 experienced workmen In this
field, and her government possesses
over 5000 military and naval planes
and Is supplying others to her allies
by the hundreds. Many of the planes
America has sent to the French front
were made In Italy, and Italian planes
are being shipped here for the training
of u aviators.
Such firms MS Fiat have accomplish
ed marvellous rsults in a short time.
This concern turned out a 700 Fl. p.
aerial engine. and other firms devel-
oped successful engines of 100, 200 H.
P, etc. The big Pomilio plant vas
erected in three months time. Today
there are more than Is aeroplane fac
tories in Italy, and that country has
the distinction Of producing the fastest
aeroplane In the world, the fastest
seaplane, the largest flying machine
and the best climber.
A great secret Of Italy's success was
the large and powerful engines she
had already perfected in her automo-
bile industry. These engines, develop
ing from 500 to 700 Fl. p. and later 900
81. p. and over, made possible the
building Of much larger planes than
had ever before been supposed posi-
BILE.
Italy's aeroplane plants have been
kept in operation, Notwithstanding adj
verse conditions, such as lack Of coal.
when wood was substituted for power
generation, and the buildings in which
the people worked were so cold that
.varnish would not dry. Another great
obstacle was the lack of chemicals.
Right here Italy pays a tribute to
America. 1t was American raw ma
terial that made this great develop
ment possible.
Record Breaking Planes.
New designs of aeroplanes are being
turned out constantly by the Italian
factories. One Of her machines produc-
ed last year Is capable Of carrying II
tons. She has planes capable Of carrying
q crew Of 25 men and Is now develop
ing one with a capacity Of so men and
q horsepower Of 5000. She also has
planes capable Of travelling more than
900 miles without a stop. One Of the

Giovanni Caproni, creator of the IA
nous Caproni machine, is planning to
build after the war a flier carrying so
passengers, with which he expects to
cross the Atlantic in 4S hours. In
fact, he had hopes at n time Of es-
tablishing during the latter part Of
this year a Paris to Washington mail
route, flying by way of Portugal, the
Azores, Newfoundland and New York
City. The longest leg Of this trip over
water Is 1,195 miles, which, he says, is
well within the range of the present
Caproni machine. 1t would be a strik-

that route by air.
Not only in building, but In handing
a%eroplanes have Italians excelled. One
of the worlds records taken by an
Italian was the feat of Captain Giuiio-
Laureati. who established a new
long distance flight record by flying
more than 900 miles without stopping
from Turin to Naples and return IN
August, 1917. Lieutenant Resnati as
tonished Americans during his flights
here by going up 1900 feet with Is
men on board at Newport News and
by flying from Mineola to Langley
Field, near Newport News, a distance
Of 800 miles, with ten passengers
aboard.
