A "FLYING MAIL"
A flying mail" is the latest type of aeroplane to be developed in England. In the plane's irtail chamber, says the "Daily Chronicle's" aeronautical expert, sorters will be able to carry on their work just as they might in a railway train. It will have a. radius of 2000 miles ,and will be able to stay in the air twenty-four hours without alighting. The crew in charge will be v provided with regular sleeping quarters on board. They will- in fact, work in shifts while in the air, some of them sleeping while others are on duty in the control chamber. -
The craft will have automatic selfbalaiico and will virtually fly itself, and in -fo.g q^tclbudi-all the hehnsnfan will have to do will be, to keep it on a compass course by ; means of the rudder.
