8 Advertisements. FLIGHT JULY 19TH, 1945 MEMO TO: RE: NOTE that Mars has carried payloads up to 35,000 lbs.,regularly carries 25-27,000 lbs. between Hawaii and California. In one month she made 14 flights between those points, is currently utilised 9.7 hrs. per day. Compare her operating costs of less than 15 cents per ton-mile with other overocean aircraft . . . and re- member that new models will have a ton-mile cost of less than 10 cents. Keep in mind, too, her record of 4,227 miles, non-stop, carrying 13,000 lbs. of cargo. Especially interesting is the fact that Mars may be docked in 8 minutes. IMPORTANT : Twenty new 82-ton sister ships of the Mars are now coming off Martin assembly lines. These giants, built from the ground up as cargo carriers, show even higher performance than original Mars. The Glenn L. Martin Co., Baltimore 3, Md., U.S.A.
