Britain Will Catch Up In The Air
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. “By the early 1950 s Britain will make up the leeway in civil aviation lost during the war and will sweep the skies,” said the. British Minister of Civil Aviation (Lord Nathan) in an interview on Tuesday.
He pointed out that Britain during the war devoted herself exclusively to the production of military aircraft by arrangement with the United States. There was no doubt that the United States was ahead of Britain today in civil aviation, but he though the British were ahead in engines. Asked whether Britain’s’ economic crisis would hinder progress, Lord Nathan remarked that the crisis had accentuated since he left Britain. It was possible that in the order of priorities civil aviation development might have to be revised, but it would continue.
