FLIGHT, JANUARY 3, 1930 Birthday Messages—continued - ~ ~ From MR. T. A. DENNIS, f . . Managing Director of A.B.C. Motors, Ltd. "It is with great pleasure that we send to FLIGHT our heartiest congratulations on the attainment of its 21st anniversary. Looking back over the years since its first issue, one realises the tremendous value its scientific contributions and publicity work have been to the progress of aeronautics, and it is impossible to over-estimate the important part the publication has played in bringing about the present rapid development of British aviation. " May we also extend our congratulations to the Editorial, Technical and Publicity Staffs, who by their united effort, loyalty and courtesy have made_FLiGHT the popular and successful publication it is." From MR. A. H. R. FEDDEN, F.R.Ae S. Chief Engineer and Designer of the " Bristol " Aero Engine Department. " Just a line to wish you very many happy returns of the day on the occasion of the twenty-first birthday of FLIGHT. NO matter what part of the world you go to on aviation business you are sure to see in almost every office the familiar grey cover of FLIGHT. The good illustrations and restrained comments on technical matters are much appreciated." First Aero Weeklv in the World,' is to From MAJOR J. STEWART, O.B.E., Joint General Manager, Cirrus Aero-Engines, Ltd. " FLIGHT, which with proper pride entitles itself the be congratulated on attaining its 21st birthday. "It may truly be said that FLIGHT has fostered aviation without fear or favour, and that it has continually voiced an informed, yet constructive, criticism, which has been at once a stimulus and an inspiration to those in the aircraft and aero engine industry. " FLIGHT has devoted 21 years to the service of British Aviation, and for that it deserves our admiration and gratitude." ^*- From MR. H. T. VANE, C.B.E., Managing Director of D. Napier & Son, Ltd. ^^^ Many congratulations on the coming of age of FLIGHT. To have watched and helped the progress of a new industry from its infancy to its present position, to have described the great advances made in design and performance, must be a source of gratification to you, whose faith»in the future of aircraft has never faltered. May you continue to prosper and be as helpful to British aviation in the future as you have been in the past." From MR. A. F. SIDGREAVES, O.B.E., Managing Director of Rolls-Royce, Ltd. " On the anniversary of the twenty-first birthday of FLIGHT, I should like to offer you my cordial congratulations. " In your first issue you clearly stated your chief aims and objects, and 1 am sure it is recognised that you have well succeeded in your admirable efforts and that your assistance has been of real and substantial value to the industry. " To have started in 1909 a journal solely confined to aeronautical matters showed great fore- sight, courage and confidence which have been fully justified as, if one looks back to Wilbur Wright's flight on December 28, 1908, when he flew a distance of 99-9 km. in 1 hr. 54 mins. 53 sees., during which he reached a speed of 60 km. per hour (then establishing a record), and "• ' compares that performance with the recent flight of Sqdn.-Ldr. Orlebar, who attained a speed of 575-700 km. per hour, one realises the enormous progress that has been made in aviation <*•'-•" ;;. I ••' since the issue of the first number of FLIGHT. "I wish your journal every success, and trust that you, personally, may be spared to continue ' ' ' for many years to come the good work you are carrying on." rrom MAJOR FRANK B. HALFORD, F.R.Ae.S., v Designer of " B.H.P.," " Cirrus " and " Gipsy " Engines, etc. •'.'• '.....• •: ; '•'- ". ' " May I take this opportunity to wish FLIGHT very many happy returns of the day. You mav well look back on the past twenty-one years with satisfaction. To those of us who have 'lived * aviation from its earliest days, FLIGHT has always been something to look forward to. It has: always been sober and sound, and in these days of sensational journalism, it is a great deal to be thankful for. I hope for very many years to come to enjoy FLIGHT'S pages. One also cannot help being impressed by the fairness of its Editorials." 23 F 1
