FLYING INSURANCE
STUDY IS BEGUN
An Phases Are OF Be Exam.
ined by Daniel Guggenheim
Foundation.

Thorough study of all phases Of aero.
nautical insurance has been undertaken
by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the
Promotion Of Aeronautics under the d.
reetion Of Capt. Ray A. Dunn, Army
Air Corps, Appointed - consultant "a
the fund BY Harry +. Gugsenheim
president.
Capt. Dunn is the second Army ofiacer

Lieut.. James Doolittle, one Of the
Armys foremost flyers, has been as
signed to the fund for nearly a year
and Is conducting research work In
blind flying and methods of combating
the fog menace to air navigation.
Outstanding Problem.
Aviation insurance is one Of the out
standing problems not only Of the COM
mercial aviator, but of all those engaged
In flying" Mr.. Guggenheim stated in
announcing the appointment and its
approval by the War Department.
AT present, rates for insurance Of
this kind are almost prohibitiye and
this is very largely due TO the almost
complete lack Of correlated information
on Tie subject. ne &CLGKnpJS u1&QS Uy
American insurance companies TO solve
this problem have been hampered by
the inadequate scope Of the statistics
available.
Situa ton Confused.
''The results of the studies made by
insurance actuarieS have all differed
with respect to the hazards of different
classes Of flying, and these differences
have resulted in the varying and ex-
tremely high premium rates established
BY the underwriting companies for avi-
alton risks. In the face of this con-
fused situation 1t has been dinacult, IL
not impossible, for the public As well aS
for military and naval oficers of the
Omitted States engaged in aviation to
obtain the amount Of insurance cover
age which has been desired.
Because Of the importance Of life in
slrance to aviation. the fund has asked
Capt. Dunn to conduct q survey which
will compile accurate and Official data
In regard to aviation mortality and in
30 doing make available to the insur-
ance underwriters those statistics which
are necessary for the satisfactory stabil-
isation of this unsettled question"

Swiss Engineer Invents Method o,
Lowering Parcel in Flight.

A device q permit delivery Of small
packages from an airplane in flight has
been invented by q Swiss engineer, the
Department of Commerce learns.
The device consists of an aluminium
shell. equipped with a precision watch
and a parachute. The watch may be
adjusted according to the altitude of
the plane, and the carrier will fall like
a dead weight until about 800 feet above
the ground. At that point the watch
releases the parachute, permitting the
package to land slowly near the desired
spot.
