1930 Time aviation articles

[Let'sgoflying!]

We have an old magazine in the house, contains items relating to my wife’s family- got to peruse it & found an aviation section:


Feb3 1930

Yeah. From 1930 to 1960something (first flight of the A-12 was in '62), we went from 200 mph/25,000' aircraft to 2,500mph/90,000 aircraft.

If they flew lower, the government wouldn’t have to overreach to get them.
