PICTURES BY PLANE
Illustrations of the seizure of Austria by Hitler’s troops three weeks ago. uppear on page 5. The history of these pictures is interesting. They were despatched by air mail to London and appeared in the London papers on March 15 and 16, that is two or three days after the event. The prints were then handed to Flying-Officer Clouston, who brought them out to Sydney with him on his record-breaking dash in the Australian Centenary aeroplane, and they appeared in the Sydney papers on Monday. March 21. Had there been in existence an air mail across the Tasman, these pictures would have been received in New Zealand within a day or two after that, but. unfortnunately, they just missed the steamer mail of the week and had to wait for five days in Sydney for the “Awatea,” and landed in Wellington last Tuesday afternoon, March 29.
