48-HOUR AIR MAIL SERVICE

OVER ATLANTIC Captain Roy Brown, the Canadian airman, who, in 1916, killed Manfred von Richthofen, Germany's' grea- test air "ace" of the war, plans to fling a daily forty- eight-hour air service across the Atlantic between Canada and Britain..

When,

with u

despairing bullet, he shot down Richthofen, he was twenty-four. Now he is forty-one, has flown 750,000 miles, and is flying director of a Canadian air transport com- pany.

CAN BE DONE

He says that with present-day 180 ingh, aircraft an economic every- day service can easily be flown the 3,790-miter between Wiper am Scotland.

From Winnipeg feeder air liuey would connect with the south and the United States.

The northern route le proposes for the service is by way of Hud- son's Bay, Baffin Land. Greenland, Teeland and the Faroe Islands, The longest water crossing on this route is under 500 miles. Buses could be built at intervals of two or three hundred miles

FREE FROM FOGS

Our present Imperial air services regularly fy the 500-mile hop over the Timor Sen to Australia.

Captain Brown and his three air- men co-directors maintain that con- ditions on the northern route, they propose are no more severe than those ол regular Canadian and American air lines to-day. It is free from the prevalent North Atlantle fogs.
