Without direct advertising because its purpose is wholly patriotic, this "short" might well be jointly sponsored by the National Advisory Committee lor Aeronautics, the Air Transport Association and the principal aircraft manufacturers. Its acceptance on all theatre screens is unquestioned. An additional version with Spanish sound-track, etc. might be given extensive circulation in LatinAmerican countries as a friendly gesture. n. TBAVEL PBOSPECTS Exclusively by group showings o/ scenic subjects along the routes "k An added reel, which also might well be made in color because of the scenic advantages, could be carehiUy edited Into the theatrical short or an entirely different film made under joint sponsorship of the members of the Air Transport Assodafion on the subject ol Aii Travel alone.
