CHINESE AIR MAIL
CHUNGKING TO RANGOON GERMANY HELPS JAPAN LONDON. Feb. 27. Chinese planes will begin a weekly mail and passenger service to-morrow between Chungking, the present seat of the Chinese Government, and Rangoon, where the service will join up with that of Imperial Airways. Germany is actively helping Japan’s ambitious air transport plans in the Far East and over the Pacific. She will supply planes and a leavening of expert personnel. One big subsidised company, Dai Nippon Air, now controls all Japanese airlines. Its capital is £1,400,000 and it will be increased within a year to £4,000,000.
Japan has already re-established several of the Chinese airlines which were extinguished by the war. An example is the nine-hour Tokio-Nan-king service. Dai Nippon Air has taken over the service between Osaka and Palao, in the Japanese mandated islands.
