AIR
"FLYER" IS READY
THE war has enabled
América to lead Britain in THEY WILL BECOME R.N. OFFICERS
being the first to produce a tested "over the weather" air liner.
Pan-American Airways have! taken delivery of the first of the Bocing "Stratoliners." which has now received its flying certifi cnte from the Civil Acronautics Authority.
3 is built to fly constantly, at between three and five miles high, and to carry 33 passengers with i four engines of 1100 h.p. each, Britain, Just before the war began, had great plans for a similar liner to. fly in the smooth air that exists "over the weather."
14 Were on Order
Fourteen of them were on order for use .00 European and Empire routes.
Like the Boeings, the British Fairey F.C.1.8 were to have "super" - charged" fuselages.
That is: The 30 passengers were to suffer no inconvenience from the. reduced air
at these al-lees pressure titudes, because two supercharges, driven by two of the airplanes four engines, were to reproduce ground wir
conditions.
The superchargers were to de liver 20 cuble ft. of conditioned alr every minute for every passenger. A "mock-up," or full-sized dummy, was made ol the Brillsh machle, and work was starting on production of the first aircraft when war began. To-day the mock-up"! still stands in the factory.
Work on the F.C.1.s remains sus- pended because war-planes me first.
BOY'S CHIN FROZE TO THE ICE

He managed to get to her, but the ive gave way and he fell in, too... He lost his hold on the girl and she
was drowned.
As Milles struggled to get out, the wet sleeves of his coat, his hands and wet chin froze on to the ice. And when he was rescued his cloth- ing was so frozen that it had to be cut off him.
This happened last month. Weather

They Called Him Haig Allenby-
WHEN his birth was registered his surname was Cole- man, as Militiaman Coleman, he was sentenced to three: months' hard labour after smashing a Bedford shopfront.
An Army officer said Halg Allenby had mado himself a "general" (no pun intended) "nuisance." In other words he was nobly christened.
