Aerial Survey in Burma FOR some time past a considerable amount of good work in the way of aerial survey and photography, has been accom- plished by the Air SurveyCo., Ltd., in Burma. Thiscompany, the moving spirit of which is our old friend R. C. Kemp, one of the early-day Brooklands pilots, has a small but very efficient base at Rangoon, and a fleet of three D.H.9's specially equipped and adapted as seaplanes for this work. This season one machine has been afloat for over three months down the southern coast of Burma, where a survey and reconnaissance of forest country was carried out to the extent of 14,000 square miles with signal success. The reconnaissance included sketching on the existing one-inch topographical sheets by an expert observer, who was also a fully-qualified forest officer, who succeeded in showing distinctly with their boundaries all main types of forest, while his maps were supported by vertical photography over the more important sections. It may be remembered that the Air Survey Co., Ltd., was formed to carry on the work initiated by Mr. R. C. Kemp on the survey of 1,400 square miles in the Irrawaddy Delta. Between then and this season's work the company has com- pleted a survey of Rangoon and suburbs at a scale of 12 ins. to the mile, and in conjunction with the survey of India have completed the photography of the Yenangyoung oil fields, the photographs being scaled to 24 ins. to the mile, at which scale the map was completed. < In addition one or two small surveys have been carried out.
