FLIGHT AND THE PUBLIC.
It does not detract from Auckland admiration of Sqnadron-Leader Kingsford Smith and his companions that there was considerable disappointment on Wednesday when the party arrived here without flying over the city. Indeed, even the numbers of people gathered on the hills' saw nothing .of . the arrival. We hope that on Sunday it avM be possible for the aviators to make a demonstration over Auckland before they leave for the South. Commander Kingsford Smith and his comrades did not come to New Zealand only to conquer the Tasman. They eame to give this isolated community an air sense, to help it to realise what flying is and will be. Nothing in our very modest record of aviation has approached their flight in its effect on the public mind. It is desirable, therefore, that as m «hy" New Zealanders as possible, and especially the younger generation, should see these experts actually in the air.
