“Commercial Aeronautics”

Extract

The subject I have to deal with in this paper is enormous, and of vital importance to the Empire, but it is only possible to touch very lightly on the possibilities of commercial aeronautics in the time allowed this evening. My opinion is that it will revolutionise the world not only from a commercial point of view, but from a humanitarian-pont, much more indeed than it has revolutionised warfare, although the effect on that is very great.
