World Aviation Code Required 1930

Lindbergh Urges World Air Code

IMPOSSIBLE TO DEVOTE too much attention to overcoming obstacles to international flying!”

So speaks Lindbergh, “aviation counsel to the world,” of what is most needed for development of air travel and commerce in the shrinking distances around our globe.

His plea for securing a uniform standard of regulations for international flyers by all nations is welcomed by an overwhelming chorus of press approval.

“Land boundaries mean nothing to a bird,” says the Hartford Times; “they should mean nothing to the bird-man”:

“There is to a large degree the same natural freedom to flying that there is to radio. Both are borne on the wings of the air. Each is man’s successful attempt to release himself of the limitations of time and place. Lindbergh is right in stressing the point that artificial barriers have no place in this achievement of flying.”
