Air Transport Now Most Safe
Major General John F. O'Ryan, former WWI commander and current president of two air transport firms, told the Greenacres Association meeting that air travel will be safe, comfortable, and profitable. He argued speed is vital to prosperity and noted rail and auto systems have increased speed but face road traffic slowdowns. He cited pilots who fly mail at night as evidence of air transport potential, though he said psychological barriers remain.
