WE’RE OFF 1 Twin propellors turn leisurely as the giant Lockheed plane taxis down the field and wheels round into the wind, while the passengers comfortably settled in their seats await the supreme thrill of flight! Now the huge gleaming machine moves forward, faster and faster; the hangars and the watching crowd whipping by. The speeding si , low of the plane detaches itself and slips behind, becoming smaller every moment —we’re off! On wide silver wings we are lifting up and up into a new breath-taking world; cruising the skies with less than the motion of a modern car.
