Across America by Air Adventure by J N Laurie Pair

Mr and Mrs J N Laurie recount their travels through America and Japan detailing the American air services, a Hollywood visit, a Canadian stay, and impressions of Japan. They describe a 14 passenger Ryan aircraft flight from Kansas City to Los Angeles, a tour of Consolidated Aircraft in the U.S.A., and extended stays in Hollywood Palm Springs and Vancouver amid shipping strikes. They note Australian visitors, local hospitality, and cultural observations from both nations, with later Canadian and Japanese notes including farm life, sanitation, and border controls.
