The tour entailed flying approximately 20.000 miles and the area covered ranged from the Rockies to Nova Scotia and southward from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. During his time in Canada, Mr. Balfour conferred with members of the Canadian Government and the Royal Canadian Air Force on matters connected with training in the Dominion.
