Aviation advances promise new air carriers for 1920
Roosevelt Field hosts the Eagle, a three motor land-plane seating eight at 107 mph. Roland Rohlfs test pilots this Curtiss craft with 600 mile range and a safety feature of one motor, aiming for mass production.

As war orders fade, aviators shift to civilian work and new tours and world trip plans emerge.
