AERIAL FERRIES
Vital Communications Link
(Rec. 6.30 pin.) NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Hundreds of officers, tons of mail and special high priority cargo are being flown across the Pacific to Australia. Mr Raymond Clapper. “World Telegram” columnist, in a message from Australia, says: "A Navy freight plane landed here after covering 9500 miles in three davs and three nights flying from Washington. There are several Navy planes flying each way daily, plus several for the Army. The Navy’s air transport system has not lost a single plane in this operation, and only one has been forced down. This is the backbone of our communications system in the war in the Pacific, giving speed and flexibility where they are needed.”
