THE WAR IN THE AIR:
Speed, Height And Man's Endurance: Developments Likely In The Future
Is it possible for a human being to fly at a colossal speed in a plane or to exist under conditions prevailing at a great height? These were the questions which MAJ, OLIVER STEWART, M.C., A.F.C., editor of the London magazine "Aeronautics" and B.B.C. commentator on avia- tion, sought to answer in the course of a broadcast from London on. Saturday.

For him, there- fore, it would be better if a pressure cabin can be used and I know that a good deal of ex-. perimental work has already of been done with this kind cabin.
"This will be possible by pressure being maintained by pomps and at 40,000 feet a pilot would be living in the same conditions as at 15,000 feet.
