BRITAIN'S LEAD IN THE AIR

VIEW OF FOREIGN EXPERTS

WHERE QUALITY TELLS

Britain's air strength, from the point of view of quality, if not of quantity, is likely to be greater than that of any other power in the future.

This view was expressed by Ma- jor Lester D. Gardner, secretary of the American Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences, in' an în-i terview on his return to New York! from a tour of Europe.

DEAD INVENTORS WORK TO GO ON

Developments of the Cierva autogyro which were indicated by Senor Juan de la Cierva before his death are to be furthered by the company which bears his name.

Senor de la Cierva was killed last week in the air liner crash nt Purley, in which 15 people lost their lives.

The developments of the Cierva autogyro are regarded as 'embody- ing the ultimate goal of his great enterprise and inventive genius, and in a sense it might almost be said that in this direction he had completed his work, for all that re- zains to be done concerns minor mechanical details.
