OXYGEN FOR FLIERS
Commercial aircraft in Britain, living at heights of 15,000 feet, must in future carry a supply of oxygen. This rule made by the Air Ministry is in anticipation of the coming era in flight, when planes either in order to cross mountain ranges or to find safer and speedier conditions for flying, seek high altitudes above the clouds. At present British air-liners seldom travel as high, but each year the range oi air voyages over continent and ocean is extended, and the time is coming when the plane'will often seek altitudes when oxygen may be necessary to enable pilot or passenger to breathe in comfort.
