AFRICAN HINTERLAND
AN AERIAL SURVEY (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, December 17. A fleet of two Fairey land planes and two Puss Moth monoplanes has just completed the photographic section of an air survey covering 50,000 square kilometres of the Sudan and Uganda, which was begun early last year at the instigation of the Egyptian Ministry of Public Works. The planes have flown over 100,000 miles, and cameras have taken 28,000 photographs. A survey of this difficult territory by the usual ground methods would probably have lasted ten years without revealing the manifold details disclosed in the aerial photographs.
