Bird's-Eye View of Your Empire

WHAT does the Empire look

like from the air? How are its great cities growing, its lands changing, its people progress- ing?

Four times in the past four years I have flown halfway across the world -over Empire countries nearly all the way. No other ghis at my ngo 28-can have had such an experience Let me take you on a flying lour across the world and give you the glimpse I caught of the great coun- tries and citles:

NLY one link remains to be forged in the All-Red Air Route from London, and that is the perilous 1.330-miles crossing of the Tasman Sea, which I flew recently in 9hr. 29min. This is acknowledged by mariners to be the most treacher-1 ous sea in the world owing to the fact that it lies so very far south In the latitude known to sailors as "roaring forties."
