Avro Avians Win Favor Avro Avians, the light planes manufactured by the British de Haviland Aircraft Company, are coming to the western world in ever increasing numbers. In addition to fifty every six months, contracted for by Air Associates, the Chilean government has ordered forty, all of which are to be delivered by the end of the year. So far as Air Associates orders are concerned, according to The Aeroplane, this means that more than 1,200 tons of aircraft will be received here from Britain in the next six months. Russia Extends Air Lines Plans are now under way to triple Russia’s air lines within five years. Russia now has 11,000 kilometers of air service. There are three groups of Russian air companies. One group connects the country with the west; another connects Moscow with Pehlevi, Persia. The last group covers central Asia and some of the far east where the airplane has not only cut travel tin e, but does away with a hazardou trip from the frontier of Kabul Afghanistan. The air trip fiom the Afghan capital to Tashkent, in Russian Central Asia, takes but a few hours. The new projects are for air lines where communication is now limited to railroads and river ships. One line is to be between Vladivostok and Moscow, with side lines to Pekin and Tokio. Russian aviation has suffered few accidents.

three fatal accidents, and during the past two seasons there were no serious mishaps. Marine Airmen Aid Troops The marine air corps still is doing good work in Nicaragua despite the weather. The corps supports the ground troops in a way which earns their gratitude. As one patrol put it: “We certainly could not ask for finer co-operation than the air service gave up. They picked us out in the thick country; kept each patrol informed of the other’s whereabout, and gave us prompt service, got cigarets when they were short, oil for the weapons, candles and rations. The fact that there is a liaison in emergency is felt and appreciated by every man in the column.” Flying Gains in Safety In an effort to ascertain the conditions as to safety in air travel, Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, consulting statistician of the Prudential Insurance Company of America, has completed a trip of 6,000 miles by airplane in the interestd of ten leading life insurance companies. His report to the companies reveals that the safety of air travel greatly has increased along the regular flying routes, without regard to stunt flying.

all incoming and outgoing planes, according to the plans. During the last year the company has been studying passenger airway operation in England, France and Gerany. Pitcairn and the company’s manager, Childs, just have completed an inspection of the excellent passenger air lines of the Pacific Coast. They will incorporate in the new Pitcairn line what they regard as the best equipment and features of these and other lines.

Aviation SPEED TO SPUR DEVELOPMENT OFDIRIGIBLES Bigger and Faster Airships Will Increase Travel Use, Says Expert. By United Press HOWDEN. Yorkshire, Nov. 2. Airship builders must concentrate on the ultimate construction of bigger and faster ships than any that have so far appeared, declared Commander C. D. Burney, managing director of the Airship Guarantee Company, the builders of the R-100 now nearing completion here. Commander Burney, in an exclusive interview with the United Press, said he had watched the recent trans-Atlantic flight of the Graf Zeppelin with the greatest interest. The R-100 is a shorter and faster ship than the German models. For this reason it is possible to in-

crease her structural strength without so large a resulting increase in weight. Also, it is believed that her resistance to the air will be less than that of the longer ships, enabling smaller motors to move her at the same speed. A further innovation in the R--100’s construction has been to arrange the passengers’ and crews’ quarters entirely within the envelope of the ship, thus avoiding windresistance gondolas. Before this step was taken, exhaustive tests were carried out with a view to insuring proper ventilation and avoiding any danger from the proximity of the hydrogen which will be contained in the gas bags. “The R-100 is definitely intended for service on the Egypt-India route,” declared Burney. "Thus she will not be called on for really long flights." The capacity of the R-100 is 5,-
