GREAT AIR FLEETS
PEEP IXTO THE FUTURE
Rec. noon. NEW YORK, May 24. Great fleets of £140,000 flying-boats, the world's largest, will help America to win the war is the prediction of Mr. Glenn Martin, the aeroplane manufacturer, who stated that after the war fleets of planes costing £250,000 and £500,000 each would be commercial transports, whose capacity would be limited only by the daily volume of cargo to be carried.
When the army and navy received the new equipment being manufactured—the world's deadliest fighters and bombers—America would advance to victory. Mr. Martin has just completed designs for a flyingboat to cost £250,000 that will carry 102 passengers and a crew of 12 and which will fly from New York to London in 13 hours.
