Civil Aviation : Air Ministry Annual Report COVERING the period from April 1, 1922, to March 31, 1923, the Annual Report on the progress of civil aviation was issued last week by the Air Ministry. The half-yearly reports, of which there have been six, have been dropped in the interests of economy. Compiled on the same general lines as the half- yearly reports, the present one is divided into Part I—General and British Empire and Part II—Foreign Countries, the latter including reports upon aerial progress in the various European States, the United States, South America and one Asiatic State—Siam. Under the British Empire section the widest information is given under various leading sub-divisions, these covering the subjects of Relations with Foreign Countries, Civil Aviation Advisory Board, Civil Air Transport Subsidies Committee, Commercial Air Services, Training of Reserve Officers, Air Navigation Regulations, Licences and Certificates, Estimates, Air Conference, Technical and Medical Services, and the Dominions, India and the Colonies. Ground organisation is again divided into Air Ports and Landing Grounds, Navigation, Wireless Communications, Meteorology and AeronauticalMaps. A series of valuable tables cover : A. British Civil Aviation ; B. Aircraft Flights and Passengers carried betweenGreat Britain and the Continent ; C. Value of Goods imported and exported by Aircraft ; D. Efficiency of British AirTransport Services ; E. Causes of Landings en route for other than Traffic Requirements and F. Accidents. The entirepublication can be obtained at the Stationery Office for 9d., and we hope to return to the subject shortly, whea we havehad time to digest the contents. . • " By Air to Everywhere " A USEFUL little brochure, entitled " By Air to Every-where," has just been issued by the LepAerial Bureau, of 27, Piccadilly, London, W.I—the "Air Travel Specialists."This sets forth full particulars as to times, etc., of the various air lines from and to London, together with the connectingair lines on various parts of the Continent. A copy of this time-table should be in the possession of every business house—just in the same way as " Bradshaw " or the " A.B.C." is kept as an indispensable book of reference.
