(By Charles Gardner)

Ever since Bleriot flew the Channel people in Britain. and overseas have been tritely saying "Flying will bring the countries of the world into closer contact, with each other."

Whether aviation has, or bring countries closer together in the sense of international understanding is too early to say..
