Statistics by the aeronautics de- | vision of the deartment of .com- merce show that on May 1 there were 2,201 licensed pilots, 2,437 li- censed mechanics, 1,257 licensed | airplanes and 1,111 identified air- | plancs. By June 30 approximately | 15,000 miles of airways will be in || regular operation, and of this total | about 7,500 miles will be lighted. | Much of the aircraft industry fs | eoncentrated in California, the area |< about New York and the area about | Wichita, Kas., but important manu- factories also are in Detroit, Denver and Ohio. It is pointed out the proximity of raw materials is more [} fmportant than the proximity to the | 4 market in the future location of the || industry. ‘ In 1927 the New York area rank- ed first in production in point of factories producing airplanes for the government. In total number of commercial planes produced Ohlo | and Kansas ranked first, followed |!! by Nebraska and California.
