JULY 26TH, 1943 FLIGHT Advertisements, g For Speed or for Comfort Travel by Air On business trips, passengers usually want all possible speed, both to cover more points and to save time lost to business work by travel. On personal trips, the same passengers are usually more con- cerned with comfort. Of all forms of transportation, the plane best combines the two travel require- ments of speed and comfort. Passengers who go by air can forget the trouble of travel. The earth slides by far below. Engines run with a quietness that masks their real power. Counties, nations, continents or oceans can be crossed with an ease that wipes out distance before the usual travel fatigue can make its appearance. Over much of the world, a per- son traveling by air will be flying with Wright Cyclone engines, for THE SHAPE OF PLANES TO COME This is the Boeing C-97, a Cyclone- powered plane which averaged 383 miles per hour on its first public flight. Double-decked, long-range, it is built for either passengers or cargo. Its power: four Cyclone 18's of 2,200 horsepower each. they power the leading transports of the world just as they power the leading military planes. The smooth, tremendous power of these engines has helped the steady growth of air travel. They pio- neered not only the overland routes of many nations but also supplied power for air service on both the Atlantic and Pacific. Whatever the route, passengers get there faster and fresher with Cyclones.
