 The three planes operated by the Dutch and n which l flew as regular paying passenger-'cas- sification tourist-from Frankfort to Manila were Douglas DC two's manufactured in Santa Monica Cal The two VIVA airlinerS Los Angeles to New York were Douglas DC two's. The United airliner San Francisco to Los Angeles a Boeing and the magnificent Clipper which took the mighty Pa cific in it's stride was Martin. The Boeing was built in Seattle and the Martin in Baltimore So except for the Atlantic span flew all American"
 MT. Ekins goes on to say that he found everywhere around the world the demand of other countries for American planes and equipment. Everywhere our manufacture of aircraft is envied and though other countries have excellent pilots they use almost ex- clusively American aircraft.
 It is fine tribute to our aeronautcs. engineers and conclusive proof that the vast government in- vestment at Langley Field and other places in an effort to further improve aerial transportation is not going for naught.
