Four 20-passenger monoplanes, SAID
to be the largest ever built in this Coun-
try. equipped with private compart-
ments and sleeping berths for night fly
ing. have been under construction Sc
cretly at the factory of the Keystone
Aircraft Corporation, Bristol Pa, for the
past two months, it has been learned.
The planes are to be put into tranconti-
mental service from New York TO the
West Coast.
Announcement of the building of the
planes was made by Edgar N. Gott,
president of the Keystone Corporation,
who now is in California attending the
aeronautical exposition.
The planes are of type to be known
as the "Patrician" and will be of all
metal construction, with three Wright
Cyclone engines giving total OF l,57o
horsepower. The huge planes are eX-
pected to have maximum speed OF
l55 miles per hour and cruising speed
of 100 miles per hour. They Will nave

will be fitted with IS chairs arranged in

and toilet facilities. In the main cabin
dome and wall lights are provided and
set of glass panels gives the highest
possible range of visibility.
A radio will be installed. with loud
speaker in the roof Of the cabin, which
may be utilized for receipt OF ground
programs or for comments from the

WARNS PHILADELPHIA
TO IMPROVE FIELD
Glover Says City May Lose Air
Mail Service Unless Condi-
tions Are Remedied.

Unless better airport facilities are
provided at Philadelphia, that city will
be taken off the Atlantic coastal air
mail line, the Post Office Department
has warned the municipal authorities
of the Pennsylvania city.
Warning of withdrawal Of the air
mail service unless present unsatisfac-
tory conditions are remedied was given
in a letter sent by Second Assistant
Postmaster General Glover to the post
master at Philadelphia. Mr.. Glover ex-
planned in his letter the policy of the
department not to extend air mail serv-
ice to any city which does not provide
proper landing fields and equipment
for use of the air mail service.
The department has received reports
that one of the air mail pilots Of Pit
cairn Aviation. Inc. which has the con
tract on the New York ATLANTA route
was nearly killed the night of Septem-
Der 7 on account Of wet grounds at tht
Philadelphia field.
Because of the wet condition 1t be-
came necessary to carry the south
bound mail out of Philadelphia by rail-
road. Mr. Glover has informed the
Philadelphia authorities that cinders OF
temporary dykes will not afford proper
safeguards for the landing and taking
off of airpianeS.

government has made specialized
use of airplanes for police work in pre-
venting passengers of incoming steam

employed to cruise over incoming pas

TENDER 22.-Military aviation
y not only is far more hazard
Gus than civil and CONNER
cial flying, but it is far more UNI
comfortable. With Lieut.. John L
Upston of the office of the chief
of Air Corps the writer flew for
7 hours and 10 minutes nonstop
from March Field, Riverside, Calf,
to this city in the CurtiSS observa-
ton plane from Boiling Field,
known locally as the Thrush,
which carried the two occupants
of the ship from Washington to
Los Angeles for the national air
meet. On this trip the difference
between civil and military flying
and the difference between civil
and military planes was empha-
sized to the point where it was telt
from head to foot.
On the long journey up the
Mojave Desert and along side the
Sierra Nevada Mountains, with
nothing to do but look at barren
scenery and smoke cigarettes, the
writer had ample opportunity to
compare the life of the military
aviator with the commercial air
plane flyer.
Sitting there in two open cock
pits, with the torrid sun beating
down, the blast of the 400-horSe-
power CurtiSS DID engine in our
faces; the bumpy air, with the
ship bouncing and pitching; with
sand shipped at the dusty March
Field Swirling up in our faces, and
at times with life dependent upon
the whim of the single engine up
in front, one came to the conclu-
sion that if a newborn aviation
angel" were out for his first cross
country trip, with the object of
investing money in flying imme-
diately on landing, he would tele-
phone his banker to invest his
money in railroad and bus stock.
But while the two lone souls III
that desolate country were speed
ing along at 100, miles an hour
(there was stiff head wind,
equal opportunity was afforded to
visualize the commercial airplane
traveller on his flight. To contrast
the two, the Thrush, being inner
emily sensitive, didn't take the
bumps like lady at all. If Lieut..
Upston turned the ship loose for
a moment to dig out a new map,
switch on to another tank or per-
form any other type of maneuVer
that required letting go of the stick

In a dive, a steep climb or drop

vertical. Now and then she would
hit a bump and both. occupants
would find the plane being jerked
from beneath them--just the re-
verse of an automobile hitting a
bump that sends the occupants TO
the top of the car.
But. the Thrush is a death
dealer, war machine; fighter
built not for comfort, but for Ell
ficiency. Hence, no scorn can be
cast in her direction. With COM

business clothes, protected from
the glaring sun, the biting wash

possible to ride out the bumps

north of Las Vegas, New, on our
military fiight-country where a
safe or partial safe landing is inn
possible, resulting in the occu-
pants taking to their chutes or
trusting to luck to get away with
injuries that will not hamper
them for life. But this terrible
country doesn't worry him. The
commercial air transport paSSen-
ger raises an eyebrow in amaze
ment at the frightfulneSS of the
land and resumes his reading,
confident that the three humming
engines up front will continue to
function, but if they do not, any
two will sustain the ship for the
remainder of the flight and any
one will enable it to get in gliding
distance of an emergency field.
The possibility of all three stop
ping at once is unthinkable.

had been shipped in the cockpits
on the take-of ground into their
skin and also very tired from Sit
ting in their cramped positions.
The military pilots always will
be at the bottom of the ladder Of
comfort in flying. But, after all,
this type of travel is flying of Q
sort that is noticeable. There is
the romance of buckling para
chute on, safety belt buckle, jab-
bing the ears full of cotton, pull
ing the helmet down tight, adjust
ing the goggles over the eyes and
away in a cloud of dust.
The. public, however, would
never Stand for this type of flying
as a regular mode of transporta-
ton. Certainly they would enjoy
the other.
We covered 600 miles with a
slow ship, against a head wind

country in Z hours ana III mlIiu0eS'
Not bad, neither is it particularly
good, for this enlightened age OF
aeronauticS. Our ship is designed
to carry bombs, machine guns,
machine gun bullets, cameras and
radio sets, hence safety andscom-
fort must be sacrificed for war
practice.
The big passenger transports are
designed to carry passengers COM
fortably, safely and speedily.
Out here is where air transpor-
tation is appreciated, more so
than in the East with it's fiat
country, it's short distances be-
tween major cities, its speedy
trains and frequent schedules. Out
here is where aviation'S future lies
for passenger transportation. And
out here the people are aware OF
that, are awakened and are pro-
crossing far more than back East.

MEDICAL LETTERS SPEED
STUDENT PILOTS COURSE
Authorization of Field Examiners
to Hasten instruction of Avia-
tors Made by Department.

To prevent delays in the instruction
of student pilots while awaiting the is
suance Of a students license by the
Department of Commerce, the depart
mcnt has authorized its medical ex-
amners in the field to issue letters OF
authorization which may be used tenn
porarily in lieu of license.
The law prohibits the flying OF
licensed aircraft by any person not
holding a pilots license, and 1t Is neces-
sary that all students have license
issued by the Department OF Commerce
before any instruction may be received
in licensed aircraft, whether such in
StructiOn be dual or solo.
Under the newly authorized procedure,
a student may fill out his application
for students permits as at present, and
he may submit it to the authorized
medical examiner in his district at the
time he takes the medical examination
instead of mailing it to Washington
and waiting for license. If the APP
plicant is passed by the medical ex-
aminer the examiner may issue letter
of authority to act as a student pilot
pending the receipt of a license issued
from Washington.
