During the war three Boeing flying boats purchased from America have been flown by British Overseas Airways Corporation on the military supply routes from Britain to West Africa, crossing the Atlantic at frequent intervals to be serviced at Baltimore, U.S.A. The transatlantic flying-boat service which has thus arisen is used for carrying passengers of vital importance to the war effort of the United Nations, and there are no commercial passengers. The picture shows freight of importance being unloaded at Logos. The flight engineers are already at work inspecting the engines.
