The west to east attempt, using a Piper Comanche 260B G-ATOY, departed from London on l8th May. Miss Scott later flew to Syd­ ney via Mount Isa and Brisbane. On arrival at Sydney on 2nd June the aircraft was flown to Bankstown where repairs were made to radio equipment which had caused trouble during the flight to date. Departure from Sydney, direct to Auckland, was on 6th June, after the weather in mid-Tasman had delayed departure by 24 hours. Miss Scott arrived back at London on 20th June and claimed the record with a ,flight of 28,656 miles at an average speed (including stops) of just over 36 m.p.h. The existing record, held by American Mrs Gerry Mock, was 32.77 m.p.h, Another record claimed was the PAI class C-lc (aircraft weight l,750kg-3s000kg) for London-Darwin and also for London-Sydney. Following the withdrawal of Eoyal Australian Navy Firefly target-towing aircraft from Avalon, Vic., the Victorian air charter firm of Executive Air Services won the tender for a two-year cantract towing for naval units in the Melbourne area.

The company chartered a Bristol I70 VH-ADL from the Air Express Company and flew freight from Brisbane to Cowra, N.S.W. The goods were then trucked to south­ ern cities. Licensing restrictions prevented a flight from Brisbane to Mel'— bourne. Ipec-Air Owns Douglas DC-4 G-AEWK in England but cannot use it in Australia due to inability to obtain an import licence for the aircraft. Work commenced on 7th June on the first stage of the construction of the new International Air Terminal at Sydney Airport.

Indonesia is entitled to operate a service to Australia under the terms of a''^reciprocal agreement which allows Qantas into Jakarta.

Reginald Duigan, who helped build and later flew the first Australian- mad® aircraft, died at Herne Hill, Geelong, Vic., on 14th June, aged 76. The aircraft was built with his brother, John Robertson Duj-gan, at Spring Plains, near Kyneton, Vic., in I9IO. It is at present on dis3)lay at the Applied Science Museum in Melbourne. J. R. Duigan made his early trials in July, 1910, and what he regarded as his first successful flight on 7th October of that year.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany
    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.
