Lindbergh Continues On Page Forward Flight Thought
The article mentions continuing discussion on high altitude flyers and flight strategies as it moves from page to page. Details are minimal with fragmentary wording suggesting research into high altitude aviation and pilot approaches. The focus remains on exploration of flight techniques and potential experimental trials.
Lindbergh on high altitude flight and future aviation growth
Lindbergh describes high altitude flight yielding higher speed and better weather, noting 15 000 feet as a typical cruising height and claiming near 150 mph on the transcontinental run. He rejects overproduction fears, predicts widespread airline service in 1980, and promotes air travel as vastly superior to other travel. Pan American Airways mail service will shorten transoceanic schedules, enabling same week delivery to South America. Prison unrest in Ohio prompts a large National Guard deployment as 1100 guards secure the penitentiary after plans by colored convicts to attempt a rush are thwarted.
