with the tail attached to it, in all
the recent British designs. In fact,
it is along these lines without modi-
fication that the British are proceed
ing in the development of flying
boats.
"Over here we figured that the
long hulls offer too much resistance
when the boat was taking to the air
from the water. Under those cir
cumstances a novel departure was
made in constructing the NC boats.
The hull was considerably shortened,
and the tail was supported from
strong outriggers. This theory has
been completely vindicated, not only
in the transatlantic flight, but in the
remarkable record breaking flights
the NC-1 and NC-2 made before the
start from Rockaway took place"

has flown not once simply, but many
times, and in the presence Of wit
nesses, so that there can be no doubt
that the first successful flying ma
chine has at last appeared.
Each Of the Wright brothers in
turn has made numerous flights over
their testing field near Dayton, Ohio,
sometimes at an elevation of about
eighty feet; at other times skimming
over the field at height of about ten
feet from the ground. They have
been able to circle over the field of
operation and even to describe in the
air the figure eight, thus demonstrat
ing their perfect control over their
apparatus, both in the vertical and
horizontal directions.
Such was the achievement Of the
first patented aeroplane, now so
startllngly modest--a figure eight
stacked up against the dozens of
tricks essential to the modern air
pilot, with his loops, his tailspins
and his nose dives and apirals. "The

steel hulled flying boats that will
carry twenty-five passengers in a
daily service between New York
and London, Mr.. Curtiss said twenty
such boats, at about $25O,OOO each,
would only cost as much as the
transatlantic liner Mauretania, and
between them would carry 500
passengers and mail. They would
have the advantage of maintaining
a daily service each way.
"Their relationship to the steam
ship services would be very similar
to the relationship Of the trolley
car to the railroads in urban dis
tricts, where the former gives half
hourly service as against trains
twice day by the railroads.
"The success Of the NC flying
boats is interesting as showing the
trend of development in that type
of craft in this country and Eng
land. Over in England they are still
developing the flying boat along
the lines of the original America,
which was designed in 1914 for the
Rodman Wanamaker flight across

success, that airship which the
Wright brothers assembled and flew
off the Carolina sand dunes still
looked sadly futile, and yet in a
scant ten years or less the airplane
had risen from the ridiculous to the
sublime, just as it rose from seventy
five feet to thousands, and passed
from its initial journey Of half a
mile to the threshold Of the Atlantic
and beyond.
Packed somewhere in the archives
Of the ephemeral page, the accounts
Of those first flights glowing with
pride in the first feeble hop Of the
flying age ring strangely now, when
the vagaries Of the air have been re-
duced to more or less accurate
algebraic formula Even as recently
as 1905 flying still had tho glamour
of a new discovery. It was during
that year that Alexander Graham
Bell, himself careful student of
the art Of flight, gave his solid con-
firmation TO the reports that some

eve are in the position today Of
the country with merchant marine
and no harbor facilities. Under
those circumstances the ships are al
most useless. We have the machines,
but we have no landing grounds for
them.
at had been our intention to
establish an aerial taxi service early
this year between the principal large
cities, but we have been deferred for
that very reason. In some cities the
fields are beginning to appear and
aeroplane companies may get to
work shortly organizing and operat-
ing their passenger carrying lines.
''The next great need is to have
the location of the fields carefully
mapped, so the aviator will know
exactly which course to set and
where to go to reach his landing
field. In this connection it is also
necessary to have an aerial map of
the entire country. The War De-
partment is engaged in this work
and it will be invaluable to the de-
velopment of commercial aviation.
''The fields themselves should be
located as near the centre of the
city to be served as possible, other
wise the speed of the aeroplane will
be sacrificed by the necessity of
the passenger having to take some
other form Of transportation to
continue his journey to the city Of
his destination.
"Thc smaller type of flying boats
will inaugurate coastal aerial taxi
service between tho large coastal
cities with safety at twice the speed
of the railroads. Another feature
of aerial transport, apart from the
high speed of the aeroplanes, is the
fact that air routes are direct, in
other words they follow the line as
the crow flies This means that
they can go the shortest distance
between two places, hence cutting
down the amount of time necessary
for the trip.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-25
Dirigible Favored
AS Freight Carrier

"The same is true of the aero
plane and dirigible. The dirigible
has the property of sustaining it's
load in the air all the time, even
when landing. With a heavy load
the aeroplane lands on the ground
very hard, hence the need Of good
hard landing grounds and heavy
running gears. That is, of course,
so far as land aeroplanes are con-
cerned; the situation with flying
boats is slightly different.
"On the other hand the dirigible
sustains it's load in landing, which,
coupled with its slower speed, makes
1t an ideal carrier for heavy freight.
There is another peculiar feature so
far as dirigibles may be compared
to land aeroplanes. The larger the
aeroplane gets the wider field it
needs for landing, while the larger
a dirigible is made it is only in
length that it increases in size.
"These factors will make the fly
ing boat an ideal means of rapid
transportation across the ocean for
passengers, mail and valuable ex-

II T IS long time since that great
4 engineer and artist, Leonardo da
Vinci, drew his designs for an
airship, and long time, too, since
the Marquis de Bacqueville, in those
pleasant latter days of feudal
France, strapped upon himself a
pair Of Tapping wings and attempted
a flight from the roof Of his town
house to the well-tended walks Of the
garden Of the Tuileries. Ut may be
added that the enterprising repre-
sentative Of the house Of Bacqueville
had his wings stall above the Seine
and was forced to descend.) For four
hundred years at least the heavier
than~air ship was slapped firmly into
the class Of the ridiculous. But turn

slower freight
Mr.. Curtiss was asked whether
he would make any plans for the
transatlantic flight in view of the
success Of the NC boats.
1--WE did make tentative plans"
he said. "These plans were along
the lines of what we thought should
be the next thing in transatlantic
aircraft, but we have not gone
ahead with them. At this stage it
is really a proposition that the gov
ernment should undertake, as the
cost to individuals is too great.
1--WE would hate to see progress
stopped, but until the art is more
developed along paying commercial
lines the government should under
take this work.
"Moreover, we must not expect
too much, nor be pushed too hard
1t is rather interesting that this
month is the centenary Of the first
crossing of the Atlantic by steam
ship. That historic event offers us
a great lesson, because it was more
than fifty years after the Savannah
steamed from Savannah, Ga, to
Liverpool that the first regular
steamship service was inaugurated
New-York tribune., 1919-05-25

Had his boat been equipped with
small marine engine and marine
propeller he would have been able
to have completed his trip in less
than twelve hours at the moderate
speed of sixteen knots an hour, with
less damage to his plane. The ma
rlne engine, too, would have been
more economical in it's use Of gaso-
lene, leaving sufficient for him to
take the air again at the first avail
able opportunity. 'Taxying' along
the surface with the air propellers
would have used up the gasolene
supply too quickly, and that is the
reason he sailed his boat into port
at an average speed Of four knots
an hour.
Naturally as soon as Commander
Towers sends in his detailed reports
the lessons taught by the trip will
become more apparent. From the
reports SO far received. those that
have outlined stand out clear.
Il have seen report which stated
the flight cost the navy $1,O00,0OO.
This is not altogether correct, not
even so far as the patrol ships are
concerned.
"The flying boats were there
with their personnel, as we'll as the
warships, and the navy ha0 20 stand
the cost Of their maintenance and
the pay of the crews. If they had
not been engaged in the flight, they
would have been employed some
where else.
"The achievement is worth far
more than it cost, aside from the
glory and honor that it brings to this
country. To America history will
accord the honor Of the first flight
across the ocean,"
At this point Mr.. Curtiss was
asked whether the aeroplanes would

field Of operation" changed to the
theatre of operations only eight
years later, where necessity knew n
laws, hardly recognizing even the
laws of gravity. This sudden de-
mand for mastery Of the air is un-
doubtedly one of the reasons why we
smile so patronizingly at the little
machine of the Wrights, but even in
1913 the future Of the aeroplane was
so definitely established as to be al
most universally recognized. Yet
there is one thing in the Wrights'
early flying which every army pilot
is bound to praise unstintedly. On a
modern army field an aviator who
attempted sharp turn as low to the
ground as seventy-five feet would
have to explain to an angry in
structor why he took such a useless
risk of crash, for low flying has be-
come a thing that an experienced
aviator will attempt only on second
thought.

the route.
SAT these centres it will discharge
and take on its cargoes, and smaller,
swift airplanes will distribute Them
to their destinations.
I'm this manner the transporta-
ton of the country for important
freight, mail and express packages
will be speeded up. 1t is in this
speeding up that aviation will play
such an important part in the eco-
nomical development of the coun-
try. Moreover, the speeding up will
take place without the ratio of ex-
pense that would occur if similar
speeding up took place on the rail
roads.
"Within short period aeronau-
tics will play as important a part in
the daily life Of the nation as the
telephone, telegraph, railroad and
automobile do at present Once
commercial aviation has been thor
oughly developed, we will be as de-
pendent upon it as we are upon the
other forms of transportation.

All the leading aeroplane manu-
facturers are taking in orders for
delivery at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and many sales are recorded.
The Curtiss Company has sold
more than thirty-five machines to in
dividuals since the beginning of the
year. Many of them are to be used
for novel purposes, and several for
use in developments abroad.
One Of the purchasers, DR.. Frank
Brewster, of Beaver City, Neb., pur-
chased J. N. ADJ biplane to use in
making calls on his practitioners.
B. L. Brookins, of Oklahoma, has
purchased two Of the new Orioles,
one small scout machine and two J.
N. ADJ machines for distribution
among oil men in that state to make
trips around their holdings.

purposes. Sidney Chaplin, of Los

boats and two Orioles for passenger
carrying purposes between Los An
geles and the Catalina Islands.
Major j. E. Stevenot, of Manila.
P. l., has made similar purchase
for transportation purposes between
the Philippine Islands.
The development of the Oriole
type as a commercial vehicle arose
from the requests of I. B. Humph-
reys, Of Denver, Col, who asked
for two especially built aeroplanes
for high altitude work. A man was
sent to Denver and, as a result of
his observations, W. L. Gilmore. one
OF the Curtiss engineers, designed
the Oriole, which won a prize of
$3.50 on it's first flight.
The Glenn L. Martin COMPANY is
completing four modified twin en-
glned aeroplanes of the Martin
Bomber type for passenger-carrying
service between San Diego and
other California cities. This service
will be inaugurated by flight of
all four machines across the CONT

chimes will be added as the service
grows.
One order that has Just been

this work by delivery of dressed
lumber in 1000 pound lots. The

Lesson of Ocean
Trip Summarized

From it we gain four outstand-
ing facts.
Il. The flying boat is the cor
rect type for transatlantic service,
owing to its ability to alight and
continue its trip upon the surface
Of the ocean.
20. The flying beat has proved
It's ability to weather the worst con-
ditions existing at sea.
g. The ocean can be crossed in
direct nonstop fight by larger air
craft Of the flying boat type within
two days.
a. The need for a marine screw
In the hull to propel the boat while
It is on the surface, as the air screws
use too much fuel for surface nav
igation.
1T is not only the performance of
the NC seaplanes which prove the
lying boat to be the correct type
lor transoceanic fight. The un-
fortunate result Of poor Hawker's
gallant attempt emphasizes it COM
pletely.
While there is still a slender
nope that he may have been res
eaed by some ship on the ocean,
nls chances with boat body would
nave been hundredfold greater.

to spring from a body Of water into
flight. He has seen the vindication
Of his theories dramatically proven
in the first successful flight across
the ocean by the giant naval sea-
planes of the NC type, which he
designed in cooperation with the
Bureau of Construction of the
United States navy. And it is upon
the result Of this remarkable flight
that he based his prediction in a
special interview with The Tribune.
"The terrible weather conditions
of the Azores, which almost marred
the fight" he said, "have taught us
more than we would have learned
had all three flying boats made the
flight without incident. The per-
iormance of Commander John H.
Towers's seaplane division has
taught US many things of great i'm

aeronautics. The flight has been
worth more than a thousand times
its cost.

Mechanical knowledge and de-

be gradual, but I think more rapid. :"
