Instead of spend- ing five to seven days on the water | the air trip will require only 24 hours. Development of this service, once it is started, will go forward with greater rapidity than did the develop- ment of commercial aviation in the United States. There are many reasons to believ that trans-oceanic passenger servi will, in time, become the largest di sion of commercial flying. In the first place the saving of time will be great- er, and time has always been one of the greatest obstacles to ocean travel. Another reason for believing that trans-oceanic flying will develop rap- idly is the fact that some of the chief obstacles encountered in flying over Jand are absent from ocean flying. In flying over land high mountains, the scarcity of landing fields, and fogs are the greatest obstacles. The high mountains in the western and eastern parts of our country require flying at high altitudes, which seriously handicaps air transport companies in their effort to use large planes of mul- tiple passenger capacity. Enormous reserve power is required to lift planes | to the high altitudes necessary | clear the mountains. In these moun- | tain regions landing fields are few} and far between. i Ocean Is Landing Field | Tm trans-oceanic flying where huge flying boats, capable of alighting on the water, are used the ocean provides | a continuous landing field, eliminat- | ing the necessity of dangerous forced | igndings. { Because it is possible to fly at low altitudes over the ocean, there being no obstructions at sea, the problem of flying at high altitudes, and the resulting need for light. small capac- ity planes does not exist. It is possi- | ble to fly as low as 50 to 100 feet above the surface of the water. Contrary to public opinion weight 4s no serious obstacle to airplanes, providing sufficient power is furnish- eto hurl the giant airplanes through the air. Because this is true it is like- iv that in a few years we will witness the use of planes that bear little re- semblance to the planes to which we ‘are accustomed today—giant flying} boats, powered by six to 12 engines, with three or more decks, baths, din- ing rooms and kitchens.

Dayton, O., I had many opportunities to pilot) the giant Barling Bomber, largest Jand plane ever built. Flying this giant plane gave me a forétaste of what it will be like to ride in the | huge flying boats of the future. The Barling Bomber built by the United States Army resembled a flying apartment house. This big plane was designed to carry a load of 42,000 pounds. It was as tall as a two-story house, and had a wing spread of 65/ feet. Stairways, floors, observation platforms and lookouts were a part} of its equipment. Powered by six} Liberty engines it generated 2400 horsepower. Further proof of the feasibility of trans-oceanic passenger flights is; demonstrated by the monster Dornier | plane which was completed by the; Germans last winter. Known as the DO-X it carries 160 passengers at a speed of 110 miles per hour fully | loaded. It is powered by 12 engines. and has alresdy made a number of successful flights, It is a forerun- ner-of the: great passenger planes which will in a few years be making twice-weekly trips across the Atlantic ocean, and perhaps the Pacific also. 100 To 200 Passengers These big planes, carrying from 100 to 200 passengers, will cost no more to operate than steamships of the game capacity.
