"M'aidez" or "Aid me!") and
then proceed to ditch.
Few airline pilots know how
to put a four -engined landplane
down on the ocean and keep
it afloat long enough for any
passengers mixed in with the
military cargo to break out the
survival equipment and escape
from the cabin. This is because
there is no such thing as an
airline pilot practicing ditching
with a full-scale airliner. Owing
to the many conditions and
combination of conditions under
which an airliner would have
to ditch, if these could be de-
scribed with certainty and set
forth in a procedure manual,
they would fill more volumes
than he could carry aboard the
= plane.
Actual ditching knowledge
and experience for DC-4s is
practically non-existent, only
one Army C-54 having made a
forced landing at sea in the last
war. The passengers and crew
escaped in life RATS before the
plane sank and were later res
cued.
Fortuitously for the Pacific
airlift operation right now, some
valuable information has come
to light on ditching the DC-4;
also the DC-6, the Constellation
and the Stratocruiser. the latter
three being newer and more
modern luxury passenger air
liners which now are or soon will
be helping MATS.
The Governments highly-re-
garded aeronautical scientific
establishment, the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronaut-
les early in May of this year
published a 39-page illustrated
research memorandum" on a
thorough investigation of the
technique employed and the re-
suits therefrom in ditching a
DC-4 and its postwar successor,
the DC-6. Two weeks prior to
the issuance of this report, or
on April 20, NACA turned out
its findings on ditching a Con-
stellation and last fall it re-
ported on the Stratocruiser and
it's military counterpart, the
USAF C-97 Stratofreighter.
These are not guide books or
pilot manuals for ditching, but
they do give a very good idea
to both the pilots and the planes
manufacturers what happens
when they are ditched under a
given set of circumstances.
NACA's research covered a
period of nearly three years and
answers many questions of pilots
and engineers as to what would
happen if any of these land
plane airliners, employed as all
are in over-ocean flying, would
have to go down at sea. Up
until now. nobody knew.

Close to 100000 flights have
been made across the Atlantic
by the 10 United States and
foreign international airlines
with four -engined land planes
since regular commercial serv-
ice began between New York
and London in the fall of 1915,
and to date no airline captain
has had to ditch his aircraft.
This achievement has occur
red on the worlds heaviest
travelled transocean airway, on
which more airplanes and
passengers have been exposed to
the possibility of forced land
ing in types not designed to
operate on water than on any
other long overseas route.
Such a high performance
record was hoped for in the
beginning by conservative air.
line safety experts. but never
guaranteed. Rather, there was
some apprehension voiced. One
such authority, an aeronautical
engineer of 20 years experience.
estimated mathematically and
publicly stated late in 1945 that
for every 1876 flights on the
North Atlantic airway, there
would be one ditching. People
working for the continuance of
the war-born Air-Sea Rescue
Service, which saved many
thousands of combat airmen
forced to ditch their bombers
and fighters in every war
theater, anticipated and pre-
pared for far more ditchings
than have occurred in regular
scheduled service everywhere.
Comes now the Pacific air
lift with as yet an unknown
total number of land planes
that eventually will be flying
critical materials and perhaps
troops to the Far East and the
air safety peoples joy over the
North Atlantic performance is
momentarily clouded by a new
batch of worries, though they
nurse the hope they will be
proven as thoroughly wrong for
the Pacific as they have been
thus far for the Atlantic.
Different Conditions
Yet they face the fact that
conditions are far from equal
or comparable. Success on the
North Atlantic commercial air.
way is due in the main to the
careful effort of all the airline
operators to cultivate a new
and sensitive market, the ticket
buying civilian. Working in an
atmosphere of technical peace,
there were to be no calculated
risks. Also, their equipment,
though war-surplus in the be-
ginning, was not war-weary and
it was rapidly replaced with new
and faster postwar-built air
liners. Finally, their flight
crews were thoroughly expert
enced in the variable flying
conditions peculiar to the north
latitudes-the airway lies be-
