Gentlemen: The 44in. x lOin. Silvertown Airplane Tires carried on mv Fokker F-7 Plane have given me such remarkable service under very strenuous conditions that I believe you will be interested in having'my unqualified endorsement for your airplane tires. For your information, during my flights in San Francisco in December and January, this set of tires four times carried the loaded plane weighing 15,200 pounds off the ground and the fifth time took off with 15,800 pounds. On the endurance flight in San Francisco, the weight lifted broke all existing records for weight per square foot of wing area and horse power (this plane has a seventy-three foot wing spread)* I am very glad to give you m this letter as an expression of my opinion of your Silvertown Airplane Tires. a 9 $ •Ul $ m i ss* € m I tes m mm ji w ■ (Signed) Very truly yajirs, 0.
