This article reports on reducing number of casualties in airplane accidents in the U.S. Flying has, in fact, become a great deal safer. Especially in the established transport lines does the mortality rate appear practically negligible. Insurance policies are among the best indications that careful flying is reasonably safe. Although flying is forbidden in the ordinary-rate policy, it may be permitted with full protection by the payment of an additional rate. The business of an aviation system includes all the steps of manufacturing, marketing and exporting planes, operating mail and passenger lines, maintaining air taxi service subject to call anywhere and the operation of flying schools.
