Skill. er Comparative Safety The Air Interesting Data Given. in WASHINGTON, May 5 (P) Moved by the frequency of recent disasters in naval aviation which have resulted in the death of 16 officers and men since April 1, Secretary Wilbur has called upon Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the bureau of Aeuronautics to report whether the number of such accidents has been abnormal. Replying, Admiral Moffett declared that despite the recent increase in casualties, the airplane is safer today than ever before and the unfortunate deaths which have occurred during the last few weeks are not a fair criterion of either the safety of the airplane or the sufficiency of the personnel operating them, but rather must be laid to the vagaries of fortune. The recent naval aviation unit alone has just completed a cruise during which 750,000 passenger miles were flown and during which there was neither death nor a serious injury to the personnel. During the year preceding this, planes of tlie of fleet flew the equivalent over 8 2 miles around the world without a single forced landing. Over 3,300 landings have been made on the Langley (airplane carrier) without ever seriously injuring an aviator. 1-- &p .
