AIR TRANSPORT AFTER THE WAR
inspired by the enormously effective part which the
airplane has played in this war, we are getting a bit over-
enthusiastic about post-war probabilities.
Already, in a casual way, we are talking about a time
not far distant when family planes will be as common as
family flivver* are today.
We take for granted the prophecies that after the
war huge aircraft will largely supplant trains on land and
ships at sea in the business of transporting both passen-
gers and freight.
Though probably we don't really argue that far, we
envision the day, soon after we have pounded the axis
out of existence, when we shall fly to the unmourned fu-
nerals of the automobile and the railroad and the steam-
ship.
Such a dream could come true, of course. In speed,
in carrying capacity, in ease of control and in fundamen-
tal safety, the airplane has made unbelievable strides.
Without doubt, after this war airline’s passenger, ex-
press and freight businesses will be multiplied many fold.
We shall have thousands of huge planes, built as
bombers and transports and war freighters, plus the ca-
pacity to turn out more thousands every year.
The railroads and steamship lines will face keen
competition. Efficient plants, which have been making
fighters and trainers, undoubtedly will do their best to
■ell us family planes In place of automobiles.
But that is only one side of the picture. The men

As for family planes, did you ever stop to think how
much more extensive terminal facilities, involving how
much greater tax cost, are required for a plane than for
an automobile? Do you know how your community could
finance such costly improvements, at the same time main-

None of these problems are impossible. Some aren’t

their solution.
