Tribute

Imperial Airways is proud to re-publish these compliments offered so generously by an important aviation paper of the United States, American Aviation, 15 May

· 1938, on the IMPERIAL flying-boats

We're been an the receiving end of a lot of suhtle insinuations, thus the British were far behind in commercial aviation, but we can say in all rundor that one of the great experiences in fying scheduled air transport lines was the New York bound flight on the (IMPERIAL lying-bou) CAVALIER 1o Bermuda). It is not a matter of being unpatriotic... but the British really have something!

The first view inside (the IMPERIAL flying boat is breathtaking. The eyes first catch the great

length of the cabin. fustead of uste long cabin. there are four... three of them on as many different level, eqnnected by two or three steps the whole sight is most impressive to put it mildly

Secund impression is the great height of the interior. It removes completely the feeling of being crowded. Psychologically, it is a vision imo the future, une doesn't just sit at a window. One moves about in a luxury of space. There are no parrow aisles and one goes to the smoking lounge pot only to smoke, but to have a drink!

Then there is that indefinable something about British service which is ever present. The British steward... was well trained, polished, quietly efficient, and added something to the psycho Ingical effect of the trip... Unquestionably, the British have carried over into their air services the same type of passenger service they have on
