FLYING SAFEST WAY
TO TRAVEL !
Headquarters, Alaskan Depart
ment—A recent War Department
Report on the accomplishments of
the Air Transport Command re
port of the accomplisments of the
Air Transport Command reveals
the amazing fact that flying is
now probably the safest and most
dependable means of transporta- j
tion.
With constant emphasis placed!
on safety discipline, the accident i
rate declined throughout the
growth of the command even as
flight operations kept on mount
ing. in 1944, only 10.7 fatalities!
occurred for every 100,000,000!
passenger miles flown, and for
the first seven months of 1945, |
this avreage was further reduced
to 7.5.
Within the brief space of four
years the Air Transport Command
achieved an enviable record of ac-,
complishment. Starting its exist
ence in June, 1941 with a person
nel of three men and no airplanes,
and Martha Moore from Moses
Point. He also took Harry Moore
from Koyuk to Moses Point.
the Command reached its peak
after V-J Day, when there were
3386 aircraft in operation.
It is estimated that during its
existence the command has trans
ported more than 3,500,000 pas
sengers, of whom 305,600 were
sick and wounded patients. A to
tal of 6,653,000,000 passenger
miles were flown and a cargo
mileage of 2,371,000,000.
Now the ATC is continuing its
good work by flying G.I.s home as
part of the demobilization pro
gram.
