the Santa Maria was but three or

Until the country has spent mill

in the development of commercial
aviation. because a flying boat is as
much in its element on the water

Says Navy Flying Boats Afford
Best Means of Travel Because
Safe Landing Is Always Sure

Can airplanes successfully Weath
er atmospherical storms?
This important question has been
brought forcibly to the attention OF
the country by the deplorable acci-
dent which occurred at Indian
Head. Md. when the army Eagle
dying ambulance crashed TO earth
while attempting to make a land
ing during a storm.
In answering this important
suastion Charles r. Redden. presi-
dent of the Aeromarine Always,
Inc, said:
sad as this accident was. il could
have been avoided. and probably
would have been. had the passen-
GERS been flying in a navy plane
which would have insured them a
safe landing place anywhere in the
Potomac. In other words. flying
boats always fly over the water.
hence a safe landing place is at
ways available.
Route Is Dangerous.
1T is a well-known fact that the
airway between Langley Field.
Va. and Boiling Field. Washington.
y. c.. an air distance of $50 miles.
IS one of the most-traveled aerial
routes in the country. and yet IL is
not organized for landing purposes.
Therefore. when Lieut.. Ames
suddenly found himself in the midst
Of the storm and attempted to land
he was met with the worst possible
Conditions. Had he been flying a
navy flying boat he would have had
a safe landing place below him on
n. II 10. - ha nSed
at any moment of the hight.
Practically all airplanes. and
particularly flying boats, are ca
pable of weathering storms in the
air. The only difficulty that arises
is the question of landing. and un-
til proper landing facilities are
made throughout the country, the
flying boat will be the premier .orm
of flying craft
Use Naval Boats
TT was in full realization Of this
that the United States navy air ser
vice placed its HS-2 and F 81 types
of flying boats at the disposal OF
the Aeromarine Always for the
purpose of developing the CONNER
cial aviation possibilities Of the
country.
These two types of flying boats
have made an enviable record un-
der all conditions. There are more
than a thousand pilots in the coun-
try at the present time who have
flown them successfully through
worse storms than that of Sunday
last.
These sturdy craft are stanch
enough not only 70 weather storms
In the air, but also storms upon the
water. This was evidenced during
the operation of the navy flying
cruisers of the Aeromsrine Anyways
during the winter mail and psssen-
ger carrying operations between
Key West and Havana. Not q sin
