Popularizing airships in American commerce
An Associated Press report notes about 100 business leaders nationwide use airplanes to travel between city offices and country homes or seaside retreats, with an estimated 300 aerial taxi drivers. The Manufacturers' Aircraft Association says demand for commercial aircraft is rising, though not matching optimistic supply. Factories could build ten times the number needed this year. Observations from the road show uses from Mount Rainier flights in Seattle to flying boats at Santa Barbara with the Belgian king and queen aboard, regular flights over southern California with a baby blimp, and expanded aerial forest patrols and rice-farm monitoring in California. Commercial air use is growing, though airships may remain rare for years.
