since the world began, but has never

In his article Mr. Robb says: ‘‘It

1,200 COMMERCIAI AIRCRAR
COURT NEWS
There are engaged in commercial fly­
ing In the United States about 1,200
aircraft, according to a report prepared
for the Department of Commerce by
the Manufacturers’ Aircraft associa­
tion. This report is based on the most
trustworthy information obtainable,
and a conservative estimate places the
mileage flown by these commercial
machines In the first six months of
the present year at 3,250,000 miles,
and In that period there were forty
serious accidents in civil flying, the
computation not Including accidents
to government-owned machines, re­
sulting In the death of fourteen per­
sons and more or less serious Injury
to fifty-two others. In eighteen of the
accidents there were no casualties, the
fourteen deaths being charged to ten
accidents and the fifty-two Injuries to
forty accidents.
The report as made public by the In­
formation Group of the United States
Army Air Service enumerates the re­
quisites for safe flying as six in num­
ber. They are:
1. A machine sound aerodynamically
and structurally.
An engine of sufficient power.
3 j A competent, conservative pilot
and navigator.
4. Air ports and emergency landing
fields sufficiently close together to in­
sure gliding to safety.
5. Nation-wide weather forecasts spe­
cialized and adapted to the needs of
fliers.
6. National air-route charts.

“Each of the forty accidents,” says
the report, “was caused by deficiency
in one or more of the above elements.
Seventeen were attributed to the pilot,
perhaps through carelessness, perhaps
Incompetence, perhaps bad judgment,
combined with other factors. There is
no doubt t{iat a good pilot can guide a
poor machine to safety with greater
chance of success than a poor pilot
can operate a first-class machine.
Therefore, at the very top of the list
of government needs is placed the ex­
amination and licensing of pilots.
