This is unfortunate for boys and girls now in school, jmeparing for jobs and careers, at a time when the aviation industry is one of the largest employers... It is unfortunate, also, for the teachers cf these youngsters. However, the situation is not exactly desperate. It is possible to observe what is going on and draw some valid conclusions.

SUPER-7 CLIPPER—This new aircraft—latest in the DC-7 series—is the DC-7-C, adapted by Pan American World Airways and the Douglas Aircraft Company for over-ocean, non-stop tourist class service. It is the fastest, most comfortable of any all-tourist plane, and has greater range. It is powered by four of the newest Wright turbo-compound engines giving it 13,000 horsepower at takeoff. Extra fuel tanks give it the ability to fly non-stop for 4,000 miles, and still have reserve fuel for another 1,000 miles. Its cruising speed is 353 miles an hour, carrying capacity 71 passengers plus 6,300 pounds of baggage and cargo.
