CIVIL AVIATION DEVELOPMENTS

Foreign Companies Will Play Highly Important Part

Hongkong Not To Send Mail To Rangoon Via New Kunming Route

FURTHER big developments in Chinese civil aviation are envisaged by an expansion programme in which the C.N.A.C., Air Franco and Imperial Airways will all play their part.

At present Mr. W. L. Bond, Director and Operations Manager of the C.N.A.C., is in New York buying planes for the new. Rangoon-Chungking service which is expected in the next few weeks. Douglas D.C.5's, the latest type of land plane, may be used on the route if delivery of them can be secured at once. Otherwise two carlier type Douglas planes will be brought over from America.
