WEST INDIES LINKED BY NEW AIR SERVICE
The palm tree islands of the British West Indies and the wealthy diamond fields of British Guiana now are assured of air service by giant seaplanes. Extensive service on regular schedule will soon begin, as a result of a survey completed by the British Air Ministry. The plans outlined by the West Indian air transport committee include the linking of the islands with British Guiana and even with the United States and Canada. Mail will be carried as well as passengers. But the planes also will be used for other purposes, such as “dusting” the sugar-cane areas of Trinidad to eradicate insect pests, carrying out the lighthouse service in the Bahamas and for survey and administrative work. The annual cost of the air service will he 600,000 dollars.
