FLIGHT, SEPTEMBER 21, 193S FOR INTERNAL APPLICATION : Two representative types used on the internal airlines of Great Britain. The D.H. " Dragon " (left) and the " Monospar." (FLIGHT Photos.) liners, improved to a once-weekly service each way at periods. A fortnightly service between Budapest and Athens has also been operated by K.L.M. JUGOSLAVIA ""THE country of Jugoslavia, considering its youth, and •* the internal difficulties with which it has had to cope, is well advanced in matters aeronautical ; quite a little network of air lines is spread over the country. Air transport was first introduced into Jugoslavia by the French Compagnie Internationale des Navigation Aeriennes (C.I.D.N.A.) in the year 1923, when it established its Orient line which passes through Belgrade. In 1927 the Jugoslav Air Navigation Co., the Aeroput, was formed to work in conjunction with the C.I.D.N.A. ; this com pany was subsidised by the Government. In the year 1929 Aeroput came to an agreement for the running of a service between Belgrade, Zagreb and Vienna. In the following year negotiations were completed with the Greek Government for the extension of the Belgrade- Skoplje service to Salonika. In the summer, of 1931 further services were introduced connecting Belgrade with Sarajevo, Split, Sushak, and Zagreb. The machines used by the company are Potez 29, fitted with 450-h.p. Lor raine engines, a Farman three-engined, and a D.H. " Puss Moth," which is used chiefly for taxi work. The development of the Aeroput has been rapid. By 1930 the mileage covered had risen from 148,840 km. to 432,263 km., p-.d the number of passengers carried haJ in<~re?s<?H *rohi 1,322 to 3,184 ; while the weight of mail transported had risen from 87 kgm. to 2,849 kgm., and that of freight from 7,010 kgm. to 25,604 kgm. The Jugoslav Aero Club has done much to foster aviation since the former was founded in 1922 under the patronage of H.K.H. the Crown Prince and the presidency of H.R.H. Prince Paul. RUMANIA JP to 1930 civil aviation carne under the control of the v ^ War Office, but it is now under the control of the Ministry of Commerce, through a section known as the " Directiunea Aviatiei si Navigatiumei Aeriene." The bulk of the air traffic previously fell on foreign lines— C.I.D.N.A., etc.—but now the State-owned company, Lignes Aeriennes exploiters par l'Etat (LARES) runs several services in Rumania, viz.:—Bucharest-Galati- Chisinau-Cernauti. Bucharest-Constanta-Mangalia-Balcic. The Lares fleet includes Junkers F.13 monoplanes and Avia B.H.25. RUSSIA UUROPEAN air lines that link up with Russia's extensive '—' internal air connections are operated by Deruluft, Russian German Air Operating Co. of Berlin. One main service by Deruluft links Berlin with Moscow via Danzig, Konigsberg, Kowno and Weliklje Luki, and another links Berlin with Leningrad via Danzig, Konigsberg, Tilsit, Riga and Tallinn (Reval). The intervening countries thus crossed and connected by these lines are East Prussia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. These services are in operation daily, including Sundays. Deruluft is subsidised by Germany and Soviet Russia and was founded in 1921. The company's capital was subscribed and paid in equal parts by the U.S.S.R. Government and a German holding company. To convey an idea of the extent to which these two lines to Russia are patronised, in 1930 there were 2,390 passengers, and in 1931 3,079. Amongst the fleet of aircraft employed have been Dornier- Merkur (single-engined). Junkers F.13 (single-engined), Rohrbach-Roland (niulti-engined) and the Ant 9 (multi engined). LIGHTER-THAN-AIR : Graf Zeppelin, seen here flying over London, has operated numerous services between Germany, Spain and South America. (FLIGHT Photo.) 946
