MAY 20, 1937. ADVERTISEMENTS. FLIGHT. 3 6 One of the worlds great est transport systems9 THIS SPONTANEOUS TRIBUTE TO IMPERIAL AIRWAYS APPEARED IN 'NEWS WEEK; A WELL-KNOWN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER 'Since its organisation twelve years ago, Britain's Imperial Airways .... has been one of the world's greatest air transport systems .... It was one of the first air lines in the world to show a profit .... Its flying and mechanical staffs have been consistently excellent The Air Ministry had decided that the Empire needed a strengthened air transport service .... Thus Imperial Airways' re-equipment programme had not only been started but pushed forward with the utmost dispatch .... Back of all this astounding energy lies a new British air transport policy that causes transport experts of other countries a lot more concern than the explosion of the ' slow-old-Imperial' tradition .... All first-class mail addressed from one part of the British Empire to the other will be carried without surcharge .... What such a British policy means to the rest of the world's air lines remains to be seen, but most observers expect widespread repercussions .... In any case the sleeping lion now aroused is showing no lack of speed in getting under way' Airways Imperial Airways Ltd., Airway Terminus, SWl: Airways House, Charles Street, SWl.
