that business men. travelling from Lon

fer TO journey at night. so that they
may sleep during the voyage and
waste no time.
The wind. which Is an important
factor in aviation. Is nearly always
less strong at night
Each airplane Will carry powerful
navigation lights. visible twenty OF
thirty miles off, and also a luminous
number. There will be frequent
landing places along the way. so that
