McBridge and Company of New York It's not only an interesting book because it's the told by a man as one of the six original and as today's foremost aviation has first-hand knowledge of every memorable and spectacular event in the development of America's aerial power It's also an important book important right now when America is engaged in a life-and-death as Maj Alexander P. de who wrote the introduction to Bruno's United Nations will win this war through superior or they will not win it at We must cut loose from the past and embark upon audacious new with power as their We must utilize our superior technological setup to spring intellectual in machines and strategic on the And thus it will be that the the pioneers of yesterday's aviation will become the realists and leaders of today and The dynamics of air power are so intensive that we must plan for tomorrow if we want to be on time ly America has the leadership to achieve Harry Bruno tells us where and why Such being the let's loose from the far as our ideas of the limitations of air travel are and upon audacious voyages into the future with Mr Bruno You can do that by reading the last chapter in his book Next Ten Always Look At the outset of mat chapter he gods of aviation have one rule which all must always look Then he admonishes us to ten years ahead to a post-war world in which the defeated Axis gangs are a tiling of the and you see one of the j most powerful reasons for each and i every one of us to buckle down and j do our utmost to guarantee this i Thanks to this is one of the most glorious ages in world Besides his predictions about the California high school the school children and the half-naked natives from the forests of Bruno foresees also the day will from the crags I of Tibet to

the answer in Bruno's big planes of the next decade will glide through the stratosphere at speeds of miles an hour and They will enable a man to breakfast in New York and have dinner in Paris on the same Citizens of Detroit and Denver will be able to do exactly the even though their planes will fly nonstop from their home towns to Europe and South planes will not be patterned after the huge flying boats that now cross the The new planes of 1952 will be huge stratosphere land whose oxygen-equipped cabins will carry more than passengers in all the and comfort travelers enjoyed on luxury

aircraft will have television weather survey enabling them to see and hear weather conditions along the routes that lie In this they will be able to fly above or around storm areas and add to the comfort of each airplane factories will be entirely air-conditioned and deep enough so that no aerial bomb can ever hurt Airports will also go underground and what will appear to be an empty field
