TranscOntinental Service.
The formation of a transcontinental
airplane service between New York and
San Francisco is heralded in the recent
announcement that the National City
Co. of New York has invested between
$5,000,000 and $10,00O,000 in the
Boeing Airplane and Transport Co., in
association with the Pacific National
Co. of Seattle. one of the largest West
ern investment organizations.
No announcement of plans has been
made, but it is likely the service will
be inaugurated with trimotored Boe-
ing planes, carrying IL passengers each.
The Boeing factory is one of the largest
airplane producers in the United States
and, through the Boeing Transport Co.,
operates several air transport lines. The
factory and transport line are to be
combined as the Boeing Airplane and
Transport Co.
The original Boeing factory now COW
ers seven acres in Seattle and is en-
gagged in quantity production of tri-
motored transport and bombing planes,
having filled several large orders for the
Navy Department. Through the trans
port subsidiary the Boeing organiza-
ton holds the contract for the air mail
route between Chicago and San Fran
cisco and also operates a passenger
service on this route. Through an
other subsidiary. the Pacific Air Trans
port, it operates the air mail and car
ries passengers between Seattle and
Los Angeles. Planes Of the Boeing or
ganization now are flying about 5000
miles a day on regular service.

International AirWays Plans
Construction of Model
Airport.

The work of rebuilding Hoover Field
as model airport, in accordance with
the plans of the International Airways,
which purchased the site early in the
week. has been begun, it is announced
by John S. Wynne, field manager.
Foundations have been constructed
for two so by So-foot hangers, and
structural steel for the buildings has
been ordered. Erection of the hangers,
which will house IL planes each, is to
be expedited, so that the planes now in
use at the field may be taken in out Of
the weather before Winter sets in. The
hangers are to be located at the left of
the field near the water front, and
concrete ramp extending down into the
river will be constructed from one of
the hangers so that seaplanes may be
drawn into the buildings.
Plans for Field.
Work is to begin soon on a restaurant,
gasoline station and enlargement of the
present Office building and waiting
room. All of this work is to be COM
pleted before March /, when the re-
modelled field is to be ready for the
opening of seaplane passenger service
to Norfolk and air transport service to
New York. Concrete runways will be
laid, large apron" or loading plat
form for passengers will be constructed,
and concrete aprons will be laid in
front of the hangers and along the left
of the field, forming line" where the
planes may be kept out of the dust and
mud while the motors are warming up.
The entrance to the field will be
greatly improved An entrance road
way will be built for automobiles and
the area sodded and Handicapped to fit
in with the proposed parkway develop
ment along the Virginia shore of the
Potomac.

Carleton E. Moran, president of C.. E.

South Carolina is vice president, has
taken over the personnel and equip
ment of the Potomac Flying Service,
which has been the operating company
at Hoover Field The Fairchild and
Eaglerock planes, now in service at the
field, will be used as at present for
sightseeing purposes, and new planes,
including four Fairchild cabin mono
planes and a Ford tri-motored trans
port plane, have been ordered for ex-
pansion of the service next Spring.

The tremendous strides being made
in air transport business in this coun-
try are revealed by orders which have
been placed with passenger and trans
port plane manufacturers. The Ford,
Fokker and Boeing airplane factories,
which are the chief producers of tri-
motored transport planes in this coun-

their orders for new planes.

Is regarded as certain.
The Fokker factories in West Vir-
ginia and New Jersey are hard put
to handle the business thrust upon
them by the airline operators. They
have untitled orders from a single
operator for more than a dozen big
planes for passenger and transport
service.
Huge Planes Ordered.
The airplane division of the Ford
Motor Co. has orders on hand for 80
tri-motored transport planes, to be de-
livered early in 1929. at a total cost
of more than $2,4OO,OOO. A majority
of these planes are to be larger and
more powerful than any hitherto built
in this country on production scale.
They will be constructed entirely of
duralumin and will carry IA passen-
gers and their baggage in addition to
the crew of pilot. flight mechanic and

partments, day-beds, wsshrooms, toi-
lets and separate baggage compart-
ments, depending upon the proposed
services in which they will be used.

Airplanes carrying the United States
mail this year will ny more than half
the total mileage flown last year by
mail, express and passenger planes
combined in all of Europe, according
to a survey Just completed by the
American Air Transport Association.
The total estimated mileage of air
mail planes of the United States con-
tract service this year will be $500, 900
miles, while the total mileage flown last
year by all European planes in every
class of service was 14129,000. Ger
many led all European countries in
mileage flown last year, with nearly
6.0000 900 miles. The United States air
mail mileage figures do not include the
flights of passenger planes flown by
the mail carriers.

LOS ANGELES TO TEST
RADIO FOR DIRIGIBLES
Series of Experiments to Determine
Best Type of Equipment
for New Airships.

The Navy dirigible Los Angeles is to
be used by Navy radio engineers for
series of experiments to determine the
best type of radio equipment for the new
$500, ,oo0-cubic- dirigibles, for con-
struction of which contracts have just
been awarded to the Goodyear zeppe-
lin Co.
The Los Angeles will be used as an
aerial radio laboratory, and its present
radio installation is to be completely
replaced by advanced types Of appara-
tus. Both the intermediate frequency
and high frequency sets will be replaced
and the present wind-driven power gen.
orators will be removed and generators
driven from the motors will be installed.
The present radio compass in the Los
Angeles will be allowed to remain intact,
as it has given very satisfactory serv-
ice on one occasion permitting the
helmsman to bring the big ship directly
over the landing field at the naval air
station at LakehurSt. N. j., on the "ra-
dio beam" from Hadley Field. N. j.. de-
spite fog, heavy clouds, rain and falling
darkness. Though the radio compass
itself is not to be disturbed, the receiv-
ing equipment for the compass may be
replaced by apparatus of more modern
design.
The Navy Department hopes to be
able to equip the new dirigibles, which
are to be the largest in the world, with
radio apparatus which will permit them
to continue direct communication with
their base of operations throughout
their full cruising range of 5000 miles
or more. Experimental equipment will
be built and subjected to gruelling serv-
ice tests on the Los Angeles before con-
struction is begun of the sets to be in
stalled in the new dirigibles IRA and
zR-5.
The two new airships are to be pow
cred with eight engines instead of five

OF the danger Of hylng, ana aviation is
held up by just that much.
Need of Uniform Regulations.
Pilots without sufficient experience
cannot be licensed to carry passengers
for hire on interstate flights, but there
is no law to prevent an inexpert pilot
who has just bought an old plane from
giving his friends JOY rides as long as
he stays within his State, unless that
State has adopted Federal flying regu-
lations. A fatal crash where licensed
planes are flown by licensed pilots is
rare; the crashes which get into the
newspapers are mostly on stunting
flights.
A Federally licensed pilot is forbid
den to carry paying passengers on stunt
flights. However, crashes and fatali-
ties due to stunt flying with passengers
will continue as long as the individual
States do not adopt Federal flying regu-
lations which will bring all pilots under
Federal supervision.
We do not desire individual State
legislation, but we are In great need OF

which will be brought about by the
