The majority of air-mail contractors lost money in 1927, yet the aeronautical industry has entered the new year with an impressive record of development and expansion and confidence in its future. The air-mail contractors predict that the next few years will witness the establishment of an enormous aeronautical transport system uniting all the important trade centers of America in a net of airways. Whether or not the American public takes to aviation, the groundwork of an extended national airway system has been established.
