Ford planes, such as this, have extremely popular in America, where they are very ex tensively used by the air trans- port companies. They are of all- metal construction and have built up a really remarkable record for reliability and safety.
The particular plane which is now in Shanghai was shipped from Detroit to the Ford Motor Co. of Japan, Ltd., and was as- sembled at Tokyo. After several weeks touring Japan, performing demonstrative work, the plane was flows from Tokyo to Mukden via Korea. After a considerable stay

Mr. Wallace Harper, of Wallace Harper &Co., Ltd., well known local Ford dealers, informs. that, provided present plans materialize, he expects to
go to Shanghai and fly back to Canton with the plane.
