Pilots are further reminded that the Airways Section also publishes in the "Aeronautical Bulletin" complete information on landing facilities in the United States together with sketch maps showing the location of the field with reference to the nearest town and the general layout of the field. The maps of Camp Vail which are reproduced herewith give a good idea of the value of this information.
Over 100 of these airport information bulletins have so far been published by the Airways Section, and many more are in preparation and will be issued as soon as they are ready. Following is an alphabetically arranged index of these Bulletins, together with the number of the Bulletin referring to a given airport.
[data]
The above series have now been completed by a number of Bulletins which give for each State a summary of the information on all landing fields where sufficient data re available for the publication of an individual bulletin together with summarized information on those facilities covered by individual bulletins.
Capt. Burdette S. Wright, A.S., is in charge of the Airways Section, which is a sub-division of the Training and War Plans Division in the Office of the Chief of Air Services. The unflagging enthusiasm which this officer displays and communicates to all those engaged in Airways work accounts for the remarkable results attained in a few years' time despite slender appropriations. While the work of charting America's airways is far from completed, there already exists a volume of information on practicable flying routes which will prove of the utmost value to commercial aviation no less than to the Air Service.
