Mammoth Air Liner
To Compence Trial
Flights This Month
Aero Critic Says British
Dirigible Is Death Trap
for Passengers.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

News, Copyright 1928
LONDON, August THE new British
arship R-l0o. which is due to inaugu-
rate a direct air line between England
and America. will begin final trial
flights at the end of this month. it
was learned today.
The new ali liner which was con-
strucled with the utmost care by Eng
liSh engineers, will afford her 100 pas
Sengers the same comforts as a lux
uriouS steamship and Will take only
three days on the weStbound and two
DAYS on the eastbound journeys. Pas
sage will be expensive as the first fig
ure mentioned by Comdr. Burney IS
$500 q berth. In spite of this high
figure there are already 200 applicants
for the 100 berthS for the air liner 6
first trip.
Comdr Burnev says that if the firsg
trip Is successful he will order at once
mammoth airShip which will carry
16o passengers from London to New
York IN SO hours
The R-100 possesses, like seagoing
liners, dance hall. veranda, cafes,
single Staterooms, palm gardens. two
restaurants and drifting and reading
rooms. One of the most famous in
terror decorators Of London was in
trusted with furnishing the cabins and
public rooms. while well known chef
was put in charge of the electric
Kitchens
There is a good deal of speculation
among air experts regarding the sue
cess of this venture. The well known
engineer, E. F. Spanner. in book en-
titled Gentlemen Prefer Airplanes, "
makes a sensational attack, declaring
The R-100 and her sister ship. the
R-10l. are structurally unsound. In
the first gale their envelopes will be
torn of and blown TO ribbons. The
machines are unstable and very diff
cult to control. Economically they are
an unsound proposition, because no
passenger viii endure the discomfortS
Of pitching and rolling, sudden rises
and falls of temperature, dampness and
the feeling of insecurity. There is also
the possibility of spontaneous combus-
ton. owing to electrical discharges -
Spanner ridicules the idea of dane

point from official records of the Allan

was hardly ever on an even keel and
sometimes at an angle which in the

nate passengers through the envelope
