I TRANSOCEANIC AIR LINER, LONDON TO NEW YORK, PLANNED By Sidney J Williams UP Staff Correspondent London. — (UP) Eclipsing the fantasies of Jules Verne or H. G. I Wells, Britain's mammoth air liner, the RIM, is sch diiled to take the air early next summer A series of short trial flights will; be its christening, and then it Is plan ned to fly II to New York, where It is proposed to make a descent lor the purpose of embarking passengers for ' the return journey to Britain. The journey will undoubtedly be the most spectacular yet undertaken in the history of modern aviation, land the Americans who have already r booked reservations will pai ticipaie in an inaugural fight destined to be the fojerunner of a regular passeng-er-carrying airship servi e between the old and new worlds. Americans who have the opportunity of viewing the Rtl)0 when it arrives in New York will be literally astounded at its construction. Its appearances gives tlie idea of a floating miniature skyscraper. It completely dwarfs any previous aircraft. It is 714 feet long and 130 feet high. Four stories provide accommodation for 100 passengers and a ( rew of 50. Comparable to a modern hotel the ship is warmed and lighted by electricity, which also serves to cook the food. One deck contains a dining room with accommodation for 50 passengers, kitchens, and two and fourberth cabins. The dining-room can lie converted ' into a dance hall, and spectators can be seated on lounges on a balcony ’ above and be able to watch passengers dancing at an altitude of thousands of feet. Broadcast wireless and gramophones will provide the mucic.
