AMAZING AVIATION
INCREASE SHOWN
One Gut 81 Every 80 Persons
in U. S. viii Have Flown.
in 1929.

The amazing growth of aeronautics
in the United States during the past
few years is revealed in reports from
scheduled air transport lines and mis-
cellaneous operators, which show that
during 1929 one out Of every 80 per-
sons in the United States has flown in
American airplanes, according TO
Clarence M. Young. Assistant Secretary
of Commerce for Aeronautics.
Reports from aircraft operators for
the first six months of this year have
been analysed by the Department of
Commerce, Maj. Young said today, and
indicate that at least 3,527,000 pasSen-
gers will have flown during the IL
months ending December 81.
Twenty Seven Operators Report.
The departments figures are based
on reports from 81 of 40 scheduled air
transport operators, which show that
$4,000 passengers were carried by air
transport companies operating on regu-
lar schedules during the first six months
of the year, Maj Young said.
This means" he continued, that
an average of 254 passengers are being
carried each day on established air.
ways. The majority of flying activities,
however. now consist of miscellaneous
operations such as aerial sightseeing
nh oClNIOSS dIlu OSIPSA
forms of unscheduled flying.
A recently completed census diScloSes
that approximately 748,000 passengers
were carried by miscellaneous aircraft
operators during the second quarter of
the year; which means that an average
of 8,311 passengers were transported
daily by miscellaneous operators. or
total of 1865 passengers carried each
day in all classes Of flying during the
first six months of the year"
Big Daily Increase.
The daily average of passengers carried
has increased at least 25 per cent DUR
ing the last half of this year. in all
probability, Maj. Young believes. because
of more favorable flying conditions and
increased number of airports, airplanes,
pilots and operators.
It is further estimated that approx
mately 47,000 600 miles were flown by
miscellaneous operators during the first
six months of this year. According to
time schedules of airways operators,
there now are 10000 miles of flying
scheduled daily over established routes.
OF this total, 51,80l miles are scheduled
for the carrying of mail, in addition to
