aviators all over the country
in the general interest of com-
mercial flying.
“We feel that it is our duty
to help develop this new mode
of transportation” Mr. Ford
stated in his communication to
dealers, “and are using as
many of our facitities as are nec
essary to this end.
“It seems that one of the
very great dificulties of cross
country flying is in trying to
distinguish over what town or
city the pilot is traveling. The
motorist is usually advised
when approaching a town by
appropriate sign boards, but so
far the air pilot is not so for-
tunate.”
According to Mr. Ford’s sug-
gested plan, the letters of the
name will be printed in white
of a size which will be visible
from ordinary flying height.
The name will extend due cast
and west with the tops of the
letters toward the north, with
arrow pointing due north at
the end of the word. In this
way the lettering and arrow
serve as a compass to the pilot.
