is inspired by only one thing-per-
formance. 1t is with this knowi-
edge in mind that the National Air
from Ford Airport at Dearborn,
Mich, each year.
Sponsors of the tour feel that IL
between 35 and so airplanes can
complete flights over wide areas
of the country on scheduled time,
the aviation industry can reap a
harvest of benefit that could be
obtained in no other manner.
The records made by the planes
entered in the tours-there have
been five OF them so far-prove this
to be right.
Cover $4,000 Miles
In five years time the touring
planes have covered almost $4,000
miles AMI there have been no serl-
GUS accidents-a truly remarkable
record.
This year the tour was an unuuali-
fled success in all respects. Taking
off from Ford Airport on Oct. 5, 90
contesting planes and 13 accompany
ing craft flew over a distance of
5000 miles to return to the Ford
field Is days later.
From Dearborn, the Tour pro-
ceeded to Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa

thusiasm.
Popular In Cities
In all of the American cities in
cluded in the Tours itinerary the
local people who thronged about
the grounded planes asked intelli-
gent questions, showing that in ad-
dition to taking an interest in Amer
ica's youngest and most promising
industry they possessed some prac
tical knowledge of it.
In the Canadian cities visited,
such was not the case. There some
of the people acted as if they had
never seen an airplane before.
At the overnight stops, the visit
ing pilots were generally taken in
tow by members of local flying clubs
or organizations and an intelligent
and helpful exchange of ideas in
variably resulted.
That the Importance of the an
nual tour is we'll realized by those
inside the aviation industry is illus
trated by the imposing list Of prom
inent flyers who participated in this
years round-the-country pilgrimage.
This list included such celebrities as
