TO FLY ATLANTIC
BOMBERS FOR ALLIES AMERICAN MACHINES (Rood. Dec. 1, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 29. The aviation editor of the New York Times learns on excellent authority that American bombers ordered by Britain and Trance will be flown across the Atlantic from a huge Canadian air base now being prepared and which, it is expected, will be one of the largest and most modern in the world. West to east prevailing winds, the minimum 2000 miles distance and excellent facilities for blind living in' bad winter weather are believed to actuate the step, which is designed to avoid the North Sea and North Atlantic shipping difficulties.
