FOKKER PREDICTS BIG AIR FUTURE
Dutch Designer Foresees Skies Thick With Winged Taxies. The airplane industry in America eventually will surpass the automobile industry, Anthony H. O. Fokker, Dutch airplane designer and one of the foremost authorities on aviation in the world, declared Friday night In connection with the Ford airplane reliability flight. Fokker broadcast a talk on aviation from The Indianapolis Times studio at the Severln Friday night. Fokker said there Is nothing alarming in the fact that Europe has outstripped America in commercial aviation. Explains Boom “Commercial flying in Europe was the natural outcome of the war.” Fokker said. "After the war Europe found itself in possession of hundreds of airplanes and of flying fields already constructed and In operation. It was natural that these planes and flying fields would be put to commercial use. In America there were few planes and few flying fields. Development was necessary on this side." Fokker said he Is finding a tremendous interest in aviation In the United States. He declared the success of the air mail has opened the feyes of business men to the possibilities of air transportation. “The success of commercial air transportation is not dependent on subsidies,” he said. "Ail that the airplane interests ask Is that suitable landing fields be provided near cities. Commercial air organizations can not afford to Invest money for landing fields and for ground organlza'lons, but with these taken care of w can operate planes without assistance.” Harbors Cited Fokker said he believed the Government or municipalities should furnish landing fields. He pointed out that the United States has spent enormous sums for harbor improvements to facilitate water shipping and contended that air transportation deserves the same kind of con slderatlon. Fokkor warned cities thinking !>f providing landing fields that the first necessity Is that the fields be easllly accessible. They should be within a very few minutes of the heart of the city, he said. ‘‘There would be no object in flying from Indianapolis to Chicago in two hours If It took an hour to get from Indianapolis to the landing field and another hour to get from the landing field to Chicago,” he said. Fokker said he saw within the near future a sky filled with airplanes, not only operaring as regular freight and passenger lines, but as taxies. No Schedules There will be an enormous development in the air taxi business.” he said. “In the near future It will be possible for a person to go to the flying field and obtain an airplane and pilot on A moment's notice, Just as we can call a taxi now. One of the best features about airplane service Is that planes do not have to run on schedules.” Fokker estimated that there are now 2,000 airplanes In the United States outside the military and naval service. Most of these, however, he said, are old and not fit for regular commercial use. He estimated that within two or three years as many as 1,500 planes will be traveling regular routes', carrying mail, passengers and freight. Fokker has an airplane factory in New Jersey and is planning to establish another at Kansas City. GRAVEL PIT SALE 0. K. J Judge Approves Action of Receiver for Company. Judge Clinton H.
