resenting the extremes Of the African
continent, have at last been linked up
by an air service. The British air min
tstry has announced That the uir route
over which engineers have spent long
months of labor amidst great difficult
ties is finally ready for traffic. This
means that the time heretofore re-
Iuired to traverse the continent-frOm
ten to twelve weeks-has now been
cut down to about one week and that
therefore secluded sections Of Africa
will be opened to the world.
The total distance by the old meth
DDS of communication is 6,223 miles.
for which from tifty-nine to seventy
five days would be required. Against
this, the mir ministry points out the
total flying distance of the aerial
route should not, exceed 500 miles.
Taking 100 miles an hour as fair
average flying speed under favorable
conditions and when the route has been
firmly established, only fifty-twO hours
actual flying time. would be required
to cover the distance, or about a week,
flying eight hours II day.
