Colchester in ChalkTHE name of Colchester is to be marked in chalk letters on the Abbey Field, adjoining the barracks, at the instigationof the Air Ministry. But why should not all other important towns follow suit ? New York-Havana Service StartedA BI-MONTHLY aerial service between New York City •and Havana, Cuba, was inaugurated last month by the Aeromarine ex-navy six-passenger flying boat " PresidenteZayas." The flying boat left Hudson River, N.Y., on September 22, with four passengers and two pilots (D. G.Richardson and R. Greiringer), and arrived at Havana on September 25, the actual flying time being 19 hrs. for the1,521 miles. Stops were made at Atlantic City, Beaufort, S.C., Miami, and Key West. The departure of the " PresidenteZayas " marks the inauguration of a direct flying service between New York and Cuba, which is expected to becomemore frequent toward the end of the year, and may develop into a regular weekly service. Under the new schedule it ispossible for passengers to board an Aeromarine flying boat in New York in the morning, fly to Beaufort, S.C., the firstday, transfer there the following morning to another boat which has been held in waiting and fly to Miami, where anothertransfer is made, and from there on to Key West and Havana, arriving in Havana the afternoon of the second day. By railand boat a passenger does not arrive in Havana until the morning of the fourth day. OCTOBER 20, 1921 PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Technical Note No. 31. Crippling Strength of Axially LoadedRods.
