AIR TRAIL Indy
BLAzED NOW IS
PLANES ROUTE
All Points of Pioneer Trip
Served; Development
Iu Amazing.

NEW YORK, March 6.-When,
only two years ago. Colonel Lind
berQh circled the Caribbean, blaz-
ing the air trail to link Mexico,
Central America. South America
and the West Indies with the
United States, the prospect for
regular air travel over his routes
seemed remote. But today every
point on his pioneer trip is served
by passenger planes, and before the
year is out New York will be con-
nected with Buenos Aires by sched-
uled air service.
The rapid development Of air
service between North and South
America has become the most spec
tacular feature of commercial
aviation In the last year, notes the
writer who describes an aerial
journey through the subtropics in
the March issue of the Review Of
Reviews.
Not only IS all Of Lindbergh's orr
ginal route served by passenger
planes today. but the aerial tourist
who wishes may start at Miami and
make a southwark circuit which will
IKE him TO Santiago, Chile, thence
across the Andes to BuenOs Aires
and back to Miami via the West
Indies. thus covering two-thirds of
the South American continent on
his trip.
Cover Big Mileage
In fact. the only leg Of the New
-Buenos Aires journey not yet
serviced regularly by air is the cas-
lest, that from New York TO Miami,
over which regular flights soon will
be scheduled by the New York Rio
Buenos Aires line.
This line, which began southwark
operations from Miami in February,
Is using Iu1turiOusly equipped TWEEN
passenger flying boats with which
it proposes to cover in seven days
the 7,O00-mile Journey which now
takes eighteen days by ocean liner
It now operates between Miami and
Para, Brazil, between which city and
Buenos Aires the line has had an
actively established route since
August, 1929
For six months an older line has
been successfully in the field. The
Pan-American Always, beginning
operations in September, flies seven
planes daily from Miami to Havana,
where it offers routings to Mexico,
through Central America and down
the Pacific coast of South America
to Santiago. An alternative route
lies over the West Indian islands.
The two lines together now cover
l08500 miles a week.
May Study Countries
The air Journey around South
America. now possible, offers two
novel flights in addition to a birds
eye view of The Latin countries and
their fascinating medley of ancient
ruins, thriving modern cities and
primitive jungles, notes the Review
of Reviews writer.
These perhaps are the lowest and
highest compulsory flights on regu-
larly scheduled air routes. Between
Buenos Aires and Santiago the
planes cross the Andes at a height

plane continued to indicate the mo-

remained in good spirits, although
weary from remaining in the
cramped quarters of their cabin,
