PROGRESS OF AIR NAVIGATION
Never in the history of mankind
has an improvement in
? transportation or progress in a
mechanism appeared so suddenly
or developed so fast and so utterly
unexpectedly as has the aeroplane,
says a writer in Popular
Mechanics. Born while the world
was looking the other way, and
nurtured in a cradle of skepticism,
the new vehicle of the
skies has been minimized, poohpoohed,
and jeered at, by savants
and laymen alike. The result
has been that an amazed world
has had fairly sprung upon it,
quite in the face of doubt and
disbelief, the most astounding
spectacle of the ages?the wildest
dream of the dreamers come
true, for centuries upon cen-?turies
the very synonym of all
~ -fhat was extreme and impossible
? the man-bird, at last, fullfledgud,
with his self-built pinions
of steel and wood and fabric,
mounting triumphantly into the
blue in ever .Increasing numbers.
Flying for hundreds of miles and
for hours upon hours, cutting
evolutions with the grace of the
gull and gliding with the sweep
of the eagle, beginning close to
the ground, over level areas, and
then daring to mount to the
cloudland realms of the condor,
he has piled record upon record
and achievement ui>on achievement.
What yesterday was a feat proclaimed
the world over, is today
unnoticed and commonplace. It
is accepted fact that men fly,
surely and boldly, and with increasing
safety, even though they
pay with the martyrdom of an
occasional life for some particularly
hard or needed lesson. It
remains no longer to establish
the mere ability to fly; the question
now is the probable measure
of the practical limits and values
of man-flight in the reasonably
near future.
It is little more than a vear
since Bleriot's crossing the English
channel riveted the attention
of the wondering nations. Since
then the same span of water has
been successfully crossed four
times, the last crossing having
been a mere incident in Moissant's
trip from Paris to London.
A year ago the record altitude
achieved by an aeroplane was
less than a thousand feet. Since
then two machines have mounted
over a mile into the clouds, and
any number have broken last
year's record. A year ago the
record distance for a single flight
was 118 miles, made at an
average speed of 39 miles an
hour. Since then a dozen men
have beaten this record.
Less than a fortnight ago
George Chaves, a youthful Peruvian
airman, succeeded in crossing
the Alps. Unfortunately
Cheves' machine overturned
after he had negotiated the most
dangerous part of the flight and
he was crushed under the motor,
dying a few days later. Only
last Thursday the American >
cross-country sustained record j
was broken by Walter Brookins,
who flew from Chicago to j
Springfield, III,, a distance of 187 j
miles, in 5 hours and 44 minutes, i
? -
For the performance he received
a prize of $10,000, offered by a
Chicago newspaper.
To sum up, so great has been
the progress that it quite taxes
the imagination of the prophet
who dares predict even the next
step forward, but it is at least
fairly safe to suggest that the
next great flight which is destined
fully to awaken even the
most skeptical of mankind will
be a crossing of the Atlantic
ccean by aeroplane.
