Airplanes in the states en
gaged in private flying and aerial
service operations in 1928 flew more
than 60.000.000 miles, a distance
equal to 2.400 trips around the
world, Col. Harry H. Blee, chief of
the division of airports and aero
nautic information, department of
commerce stated in an address de
livered over associated radio
stations of the Nat. Broadcast
ing Co.
Today there are 46 air transport
companies in the United States,
flying 75.000 miles per day and car
rying, in addition to express and
passengers, more than 6,000.000
pounds of air mail annually. Colon
el Blee stated.
The United States rapidly is tak
ing a position of world leadership
in the field of air transportation,
and after years of pioneering, am
ple capital for development work
is now available. Col. Blee said,
predicting that in a few years
the flying public will be enjoying
a transportation service over a sys
tem of airways so comprehensive
that it will link every imoortant
city in the U. S. with the
great business and pleasure centers
of the world.
The United States now has more
than 30,000 miles of airways, of
which 10.183 are lighted for night
