Airplane and Gold Open New Guinea to World Reach
The article describes how aviation has transformed New Guinea from a nearly unknown jungle realm into a rapidly accessible frontier. It notes early attempts by prospectors, the swift spread of airfields, and increasing air traffic carrying passengers, freight, and mining equipment to the gold fields. Natives resist intrusion while authorities establish bases to maintain control as the region gradually comes under external influence.

Some own 1935 models, others rely on push starts and multiple guards. The piece contrasts American motoring ease with Mongol travel woes and ends with a philosophical quip on progress and confidence.
