Commercial aviation safety and growth in 1930s talk
Swift notes that 99 percent of air accidents involve private operators and claims 65 million passenger miles in eight years with no fatality. He cites periodic inspections, 190 checks per motor, and rebuilds every 300 hours as Eastern Air Lines standard, while private planes remain riskier. Trans oceanic service mirrors 1926 transcontinental growth, and model airplane clubs seed the future workforce.
