REFUELLING IN THE AIR
MRS. VICTOR BRUCE’S FEAT A COMMERCIAL GAIN P r ess A saoci atloiil. Rugby. Aug. 11. One of the most interesting features of Mrs. Bruce’s flying is the new method employed for passing fuel and other supplies to the seaplane from two attendant machines. These machines, joined by a cord, fly ahead of the seaplane until it conics between them, enabling the cord to be seized. The pipe line from the tanker ’plane is then drawn aboard. The development of a sound method of refuelling in the air would probably greatly assist commercial aviation by considerably raising the pay load.
