Air Tragedy

The families and friends Of the
service people killed and missing in the
Atlantic airliner accident must wonder
why those people were being carried
in chartered plane and whether they
might have been safer in a military
transport.
The answers are complex, but, in
brief, the soldiers and their families
were on a private airIiner because the
Pentagon in 1860 struck bargain with
the White House and Congress which
put military airplanes largely out of
the passenger business. The Military
Air Transport Service wanted modern
planes and a larger combat-support
assignment. The President and Con-
gress wanted a better civilian aircraft
reserve fleet and an expanded airline
SubSidy-particularly to help those lines
which must compete in overseas traffic
with airlines owned by foreign govern
ments.
A bargain seemed logical at the
time. Following congressional investi-
cation, Congress and the administration
agreed that MATS would give most Of
its passenger business to civilian air.
lines; and Congress voted funds to
modernize MATS and add combat
cargo aircraft. The private airlines
bought better planes, many of which
were pledged to wartime duty for the
services. Apparently everyone bene-
fitted Anyhow, that is why those
soldiers were on a private airliner with
orders in their pockets to report to posts
in Europe.
Would they have been safer on
MATS? The Flying Tiger Line, certifi-
Gated by the CAB, has had two major
accidents this year involving military
people. One, in March, killed lot per-
sons in the western Pacific. Today more
than 20 persons are dead or missing in
the Atlantic. Still, one cannot say that
this airline is less safe than any other.
Like other planes chartered by the
Pentagon, Flying Tiger charter planes
are Safety-checked by MATS and also
meet Federal Aviation Agency stand
ards. Flying Tiger contracts for military
service contain the same conditions ap-
plicable to all military contract flying.
We are told by the Air Force, how
ever, that MATS in its passenger
carrying heyday, was not only the big
gest airline the world had ever seen,
but it had the best safety record. We
are told also that many MATS officers
would feel more comfortable If they
could control directly all of the planes,
and their mechanics, that carry military
passengers.
The Pentagon ordered safety in
