NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Experi- encing a phenomcnal growth during the first seven months of 1928, avi- {ation activity has expanded literal- |ly to place 216 cities on the air map of the United States. They qualified for this recogni- tion by the Aeronautical chamber of commerce, which has compiled a new map, by establishing them- selves as aircraft manufacturing or operation centers. The map affords a birdseye view of the marked strides made by this “infant industry” of a few years ago until it now looms as a po- tential rival of America’s great in- dustries. The progress has not been more marked than during the‘ present year, with more than 5500.-‘ 000,000 invested in various aviation l15,0nhy Ave. with the best TO- enterprises by the public. | Planes fly 80,000 miles daily wlth‘z p. m. to 7 p. m. passengers, mail and express be- tween the cities, which are linked | by 30,000 miles of established air-| ways. Mail planes alone fly 50,000 miles daily across 41 of the 48 states, northward into Canada and southward into Mexico, Central America and South America. The establishment of transcon- tinental air-rail service by several transport operators proved the largest single factor in increasing the passenger mileage flown dail Planes flying passengers exclusive- routes are cover- ing 30,000 miles every 24 hours.
