MORE FLYERS DIE
NOW THAN IN WAR

The death rate for aviators is going
up. according to figures compiled at
Uncle Sans aviation fields
Aviators are crashing with greater
frequency than before the armistice
was signed. This may be due to the
fact that the stringent regulations OF
the air service have been relaxed to
some extent
As it is now. there is one death to
1 $50 hours of flying. This means
that over 1850 miles are flown to
every death. This is about a thou
sand times below the rate Of automo-
bile and other land transportation ia
talities.
This rate is an increase Of Al per
cent over the rate prior TO November
II. 1918. Then the average number OF
hours flown per fatality was $40.
From June l to- November II, 1915,
there were 156 aerial fatalities. From
November II to the present date there
have been eighty-five aviation fataIi-
ties. six OF them occurring last month.
The record of fatalities in New
York city last year shows that a far
greater number of persons were killed
in that city alone in automobile acct
dents than in the air service here and
in France during the same time.
