GREAT BRITAIN'S
COMMERCIAL AIR
RECORD is GOOD
Only Four Deaths in SILL
900 Miles of PaSsen-
ger Flying.

BIZ United Press
LONDN, June 6.-Contrasting
ing with England's military avia-
ton role of eighty-two f1iers killed
in air crashes in 1926, the record of
the progress of civil aviation from
April to December. just published
by the air ministry, shows that the
Imperial Always, Ltd, in this
period carried 16,775 passengers and
flew 732,98O miles without the death
of single passenger or airnan.
In addition $4,000 miles were
flown on special flights without
deaths or injuries. Thus for the
second year British civil aircraft
had completed their work without
any accidents resulting in death or
injury.
Up to date the Imperial Always,
Ltd, have flown 5,271,00 miles with
the deaths of only four passengers.
There were, however, two serious
accidents to French aircraft flying
on the London-Paris route.
The most noticeable tendency in
BRUSH aircraft construction, the
report notes, is the increase in the
engine power available per passen-
ger in the airplanes. This increase
has been brought about simulta-
neously with a decrease in the
weight per horsepower of the en-
gines; and as a consequence pas
sengers are given the extra meas
ure of safety that comes from re-
serve engine power for use in emer-
gencies.
At the same time a reserve engine
power enables machines to be flown
on their normal schedules with
out taxing the capacity of the en-
CINE.
The report also recounts British
accomplishments in aerial surveys
in Africa, and in the use of air.
planes in spraying crops with in
secticide.
