LIEUT. HOEY OF BOEING AIR TRANSPORT CO. TALKS TO SAN FRANCISCO HOO HOO

Lieut. Henry J. Hoey, of the Boeing Air Transport Co., San Francisco, talked on "Commercial Aviation," and showed two reels of pictures to the San Francisco Hoo Hoo Club at their regular meeting held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, April 26.

The speaker sketched briefly the history of the Air Mail in United States, telling members that the Boeing Company now operates 600O miles daily on the San FranciscoChicago and Los Angeles-Seattle routes, on which they have the contracts for carrying mail. Tr,r'enty-four ships, carrying 160O lbs. of mail and freight, and two passeng'ers in a closed cabin, are used between San Francisco and Chicag:o. Similar ships with room for four passengers will soon be used on the Coast. Three large tri-motored, 12 passeng'er ships will soon be placed in service on the transcontinental run. These will have individual reclining chairs. A buffet tunch rvill be served, and travel will be comparable in every way to that on the European lines.

The first reel of pictures showed the evolution of the airplane from the first machine flown by the Wright Brothers, up to the most modern machines in use today, showing sorne "shots" of Col. Lindbergh in his memorable trans-Atlantic flight. This was most interesting, and particularly so inasmuch as there is only one other copy of this film in existence. The second reel was also very good, and was par-, ticularly interesting owing to the fact 'ihit it showed cleirly the accident to Commander Byrd's plane, the "America," in which the late Floyd Bennett was seriously injured.

Robert S. "Bob" Grant, California Door Co.. was chairman of the day, and president Bert Johnson presided.
