Laurent Eynac, the French Under Secretary for Air, referred to the importance, as regards these two countries, of organising air traffic in Europe. The route between Paris and Constantinople passed through Prague, and a further line would be established between France, Warsaw, and Moscow. By establishing branch lines from these routes, Paris and Prague would become the centres of a vast network of inter- national air routes. M. Laurent Eynac further stated that by the terms of the French convention, the technical knowledge and equip- ment of the French air service would be placed at the disposal of Czechoslovakia, and opportunities would be given for Czechoslovakian engineers and officers to study in French schools. ooooo ooo o o o o o o o o With the South African Air Mail: Our illustration shows one of the D.H. machines of the Union of South Africa Air Mail Service filling up with "Shell" spirit at Durban.
