“THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.”
“There is little question that the British Certificate of Airworthiness is the highest in the word to-day, and partly through this, tne sound system cf inspection by the Aeronautical Inspection department in manufacture, and the full realisation on the part of the manufacturer that his reputation rests upon the honesty 01 ms workmanship, fatal accidents through structural failures of the machine, or badlybalanced air controls are practically unknown. It is not necessary to go into details, hut all those familiar with the experimental and production work of foreign constructors will appreciate that such a record cannot be claimed generally, and that instances of wings coming off in the air, and of machines crumpling up and crashing' Kirough loss of control have been unhappily more frequent, abroad than the presen., advanced state of aircraft design and manufacture warrants.”
