MILITARY AVIATION
IS BECOMING SAFER
Improvement in Service Flying
Proportionate to That in Civil
Field, Croker Says.

Flying in the Army and Navy services,
while naturally more hazardous than
commercial aviation, is becoming safer
in the same proportion as the safety of
civil flying, according to a study made
by Walton L. Croker of Boston, who is
making survey of aeronautics as APP
piled to the problems of life insurance.
while there seems to be no cause for
unusual alarm over the accidents and
mortality of air travel" Mr.. Croker
said, there is still room for improve
ment and necessity for reduction IN
the hazards in order to give aeronautics
the opportunity for progress which it
deserves"
In the United States Army the IA
tally rate in air operations has been re-
duced since 1921 from fatality in every
$4,000 miles to fatality to every $50. 600
mites in 1928, according to the Croker
survey. On the basis of hours flown,
the fatality rate in the United States
Army during 1923-1924 was one fatality
to 2,775 hours. During 1926-1927 the
ratio was one to every 3,197 hours. In
the United States Navy the fatality ra-
ito was one to every 3,269 hours in 1928
1924, against 1877 hours in 1926-1927
Recent figures from the division OF
vital statistics of the United States Cen
sus Bureau" said Mr.. Croker, "show
for 1927 214 aviation accidents of all
sorts. OF these, So were known aviators
or pilots, eight we're to students and in
structors, 119 to the general public, in
Guiding possibly some connected with air
transport, while the remainder, or 80
were to the Army, Navy, professional
stunt flyers and balloonists. Compared
with the number of those who actually
flew or were otherwise exposed to the
hazard, the number killed was not
large"

Care in Flying Over Peaks
Is Necessary to Avoid
Sudden Currents.
LANDING FIELDS SCARCE
Contour of Region Often
Proves Puzzling to mex
perienced Air Pilot.
BY CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.

Mountain flying has many problems
which are never encountered in a fiat
country or at sea level. The mountains
are not serious obstacle to aviation,
although more experience Is necessary
on the part of pilots, and at very high
attitudes it may be necessary to use a
Supercharged motor and larger wing
area. The greatest opportunity for the
development of air transportation exists
where ground travel Is most difficult
and where heavy grades and twisting
roadbeds add many hours OF the time
required to travel the same airline dis
lance in plains country.
There are numerous stories OF air
currents, blind canyons and the lack
of possible landing fields around the
ranges. You hear of light air, and Of
planes being drawn down into a rim
rock 1t is true that there have been
many accidents in the high attitudes
of the Western States, but they can
usually be traced to a lack of experience
or Judgment on the part of the pilot.
Many an underpowered plane has made
it's last fight in blind canyon.
There are places in the West where
the entire country is sloping and where
pitch indicator would differ consider
ably with the position Of the plane. A
student pilot is taught to hold the
planes nose on the horizon. Over slop-
ing country an inexperienced pilot Is
apt to find his controls becoming in
effective when from every outward ap-
pearance the plane Is in a normal fly
ing position. The mouth of q canyon
is always attractive when you have not
enough altitude to get over the top. II
you are flying over mountains with the
wind there is little difficulty in climbing
because the air current in passing over
carries the plane up with it. But If
you are bucking the wind it Is an en-
tirely different proposition.
Flying in a Canyon.
After passing over mountain range
the air current descends again and
makes climbing difficult and many
times impossible for machine with
out large reserve of power. 1t Is
under the latter condition that you look
for the passes and start up the canyons.
AS long as the walls are sufficiently far
apart to leave room for the plane to
turn you are in little danger. But If
you continue on after they narrow down
you are almost certain to reach point
where it is necessary to choose between
landing in the rocky bottom or crashing
into the mountain ahead.
Air currents under extreme condi-
tions may carry plane up or down
several thousand feet. The quick
bumps which sometimes leave the air
passenger suspended several inches
above his chair do not cause the plane
to lose much altitude. Although they
are often found in the vicinity of larger
currents, rising currents are found on
the windward side of hills and noun
tains, descending currents on the lee
side. In general. they are hardly no
ticeable to the passenger, although a
rate-of- climb indicator may register

FINANCING OF PLANE
PURCHASES STARTED
Baltimore Corporation, Launching
New Venture, Says Conditions
Make It Essential Now.

Plans have been perfected in Balti-
more by one of the largest independent
financing corporations in the country
for the handling of airplane sales on
the installment plan and two 12-pas-
senger planes. delivered on the partial
payment basis, already are engaged in
commercial work on Midwestern air.
ways.
The corporation has organized a spe-
cial airplane division. headed by G. w
Mitchell, jr., former Navy aviator, after
more than year of study by financing
and insurance experts.
Researches demonstrated that avia-
ton has finally reached the point in
stability. safety and transportation nee
cessity where it no longer can be ignored
by conservative insurance and credit
companies" Mitchell said. Three in
surance companies have offered to is
sue policies which are part of our
financing contracts. Other insurance
companies are working on the problems
involved and it will not be long before
many insurance companies will have
aviation departments.
For the present only planes selling
for $4,000 or more will be financed.
Mitchell said. Later the restrictions
and requirements will be altered as ex-
perience tables indicate. Time pur-
chasers of airplanes will make min
imum cash payment of one-third of the
cost plus the standard finance charges
Insurance coverage for fire, theft,
winds, crashes, public liability, proper
ty damage and passengers hazards will
be provided, costing, in the case of a
plane costing $1,000, approximately
$3.50, although the rates will be
varied, depending upon the type of
plane, pilots record and character of
the proposed service.

Overflow Sent to ArmOry.
The exposition itself is said to
be the largest of the sort ever held
in this country. The Chicago
Coliseum, the largest building
available, was engaged. Applica-
tons for exhibition space were SO
numerous that the overflow was
sent to the Armory, which also
has been crowded to capacity
More than rs airplaneS, built by
more than so manufacturers have
been placed on exhibition and the
manufacturers of airplane motors
and instruments are represented
by a full line of exhibits. Models
Of a number of popular European
airplanes will be exhibited and
shown in flight at the Chicago
airport during the week. among
them the De Haviland Moth and
the Avro Avian.

have been entered. There is con-
siderable interest in the first
Fokker amphibian, among the
three Fokker entries. The amphib-
ian has a lower stub wing into
which the landing gear is folded
and the motor is mounted in a
nacelle above the wing, driving
a three-bladed puSher propeller.
Grocery Ship Entered.
Two big air transports, one
fitted up as a flying grocery
store" were entered by the Ford
Motor Co. The grocery ship, after
the show, will tour the country
to demonstrate to grocerS and
their patrons the most modern
methods of displaying goods. The
other is the new Wasp motored

1000 feet a minute or more. In flying
through storms in the Rockies I have
often watched the needle of my climb
indicator pass the 1,500-foot mark in
either direction, and while flying over
a forest fire in the mountains of West
ern Oregon last Summer a current of
warm air lifted me at the rate of 1900
feet minute.
1t Is often possible to take advan-
tage of ascending currents even when
crossing mountains against the wind
There is usually. spur of hills away
from the main range where the air is
again forced upward, and by circling
around on the windward side a plane
will find its rate Of climb materially
increased.
A Rule for Mountain Pilots.
Air currents will never carry plane
into the ground If 1t is not heavily
overloaded. Descending air must stop
at the earth'S surface, and while the
turbulence near the ground may toss
a plane about excessively In high
wind, there is little or no danger OF
being carried into the ground, unless
you are attempting to get over some
obstruction. One of the chief rules OF
a mountain pilot Is never to pass over
the top of range except at an angle
unless he is high enough to make a
complete turn In case of encountering
strong down current. BY crossing at
an angle 1t Is safe to pass much closer
to the ridge, since the plane can be
turned away from the mountains in a
much shorter time and with less loss
of altitude.
There are numerous places in the
Rocky Mountains where an emergency
landing could be made without material
damage and certainly without injury
to passengers. In the Sierras and the
ranges of the Northwest landing fields
are much more difficult to find, due to
the heavy forests. Even here, however
it is often possible to pass over open
country by flying little farther and not
following an air line.
The feasibility of air transportation
at high altitude has already been

AVIATION
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

A VIATION'S greatest nom
" flying aeronautical show
~ for the year 1928 opened
yesterday in the Coliseum
and the First Regiment Armory
at Chicago, as a prelude to the
first International Civil Aero
nauticS Conference to be held in
this city, December IL, Is and IA.
The Chicago show, given under
the auspices of the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce, is known
as the international Aeronautical
Exposition, and December 7 has
been set aside for the entertain
ment of the official delegates from
two-Score nations who later will
come here for the conference.
These delegates will be flown to
Chicago from Cleveland as the
guests of the United States Gov
eminent and after attending the
show, will be flown from Chicago
to Dayton, en- route to this city.
The Chicago exposition, occur
ring as it does on the eve of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
first flight of a power-driven air
plane, is proving a lode-Stone to
the aviation people of the country.
It is, moreover, being made the
occasion for a series of meetings
of the civil aviation bodies of the
Nation. The international con-
ference to be held here will afford
little opportunity for the aero
nautical people of this country to
get together on their domestic
problems and the Chicago eXposi-
ton has taken on the character of
a "pre-conference" gathering. A
series of meetings for the discus
sion of various phases Of aviation
has been arranged.
Report to Be Prepared.
Today the flying school COM
mittee of the Aeronautical Cham
Der of Commerce is meeting to
prepare a report on flying schools.
Tomorrow the publishers of trade
papers dealing with aeronauticS
will meet to organize publishers
section and tomorrow afternoon
there will be general meeting
for the discussion of a general air
show policy.
Tuesday will be devoted to
meetings OF the commercial air
plane manufacturers, at which 43
corporations will be represented.
These representatives of the air.
plane manufacturers on WedneS-
day will meet with officials of the
aeronauticS branch of the De-
partment of Commerce from this
city to air grievances and to ar
rive at some sort of an under
standing with regard to questions
arising out of the new regulations
promulgated by the department.
On Wednesday and Thursday
there will be joint meetings of
the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce and the Society of
Automotive Engineers on aero
nautical engineering. A national
airportS conference is to be held
on Friday. The engineering meet
ingS promise to be of considerable
Importance. Among the subjects
scheduled for discussion are nom

UNIFIED FLYING CLUB
CONTROL is PROPOSED
British Gesture Seeks Government
Aid for Air Groups Train
ing New Pilots.

Unified control of civil flying in Great
Britain has been proposed before the
general council of the Associated Light
Airplane Clubs, according to a report
to the Department of Commerce.
The plan provides for central ad-
ministrative organization which would
take charge of all flying clubs, pro-
vide them with airplanes, engage in
structors and select airports. In ad-
dition it would control certain of the
flying schools and passenger carrying
firms
The promoters hope that the gov
eminent will lend its aid on some basis
such as payment for each new pilot
trained The plans could not be carried
through successfully without such aid,
it is held, as the unsubsidized light
airplane clubs are able to continue in
existence only through the support Of
wealthy members.
