Aircraft Insurance [Discussion]

I have read Mr. Cowles' paper with considerable interest, and particularly his pictures of the invention and development in America, as a means of transport, of the railroad train, trolley and automobile, the forerunners of aircraft. It is interesting, too, to note that the trolley, like the railroad, not being adaptable to purposes of sport, a development of these vehicles in the commercial sphere was not delayed by misapplication. Whilst as a matter of history this cannot be said of the automobile, there appears to be small chance (in England at least) of the hindrance of sport to the commercial advancement of aircraft. For this prospect we are probably indebted to the war as having ushered in a period of earnest striving and endeavor in the realm of recuperation, and to the post-bellum call for every available and effective means of transport in aid of recovery from the recent years of horror and deprivation.
