FORD IN THE AIR
“Now That Man Has Wings” is the title of a most interesting brochure just published by the Stout Metal Airplane Company, division of the Ford Motor Company, Michigan. It says: “Just as need brought the motor-car, and use augmented the need, so will it be with commercial aviation. , . . The inventive period of trial and error, where no precedent can guide, where every step was one of exploration in unknown fields of science and human performance, is passed. The foundations have been securely laid. The new structure of commercial aviation is rising from this base, urged on by the needs of busines, controlled by established scienti- j fic laws, and proved human abilities. . . . And now that man has wings he i flies. No power in the world can hold him back.” The booklet interestingly presents a history of the aviation activities of the Ford Motor Company, a description of the Ford tri-motored air transport, and a very constructive chapter, “How to Organise an Air Line.”
