96 FLIGHT, 17 January 19r 8 CIVIL AVIATION . . . THE AIRLINES' SHOPPING LIST (Correct to January 13, 1958, excluding options, but including certain government and executive order*) SINCE the last edition of this Flight list (September 13, 1957) themarket has been quiet—though by no means static. The totalnumber of new aircraft delivered or on order has increased since last September from 1,481 to 1,506. Of the 39 new aircraft sold, 13 werejets and 26 were turboprops. Piston engine orders dropped by 14. One new variant of an existing type was added to the list, whenUnited Air Lines ordered 11 Boeing 720 medium jets in November. One type, the Frye Safari, has been temporarily removed from the list untilits future appears to be more definite. The first short-range jet will be included—B.E.A. must surely hope— in the next edition of this list. Although the new American transports are on schedule, and indeedahead of schedule, it seems that many of the airlines who have ordered them will not break their hearts if delivery is late. The fares con-troversy—brought about as much by the airlines' 1955-56 buying spn e as by rising costs—must be settled before the procurement businessreturns to normal. It is far from normal at the moment: an airline can now be offertdeli very of a Boeing 707, DC-8 or Electra earlier than it could a year age Northwest, for example, are in this fortuitious buying position. There artplenty of customers apparently willing to forgo a place in the queue w, give themselves more financial breathing-space. This "buyers'-market" situation is particularly unsettling for thosemanufacturers whose new aircraft are still not ordered in break-even quantities.
