12 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS which a full 12 months of fatality-free operation had been achieved. Following a CAB decision refusing to underwrite its operation of Martin 2-0-2's with mail pay, Pioneer Air Lines has begun converting back to an all DC-3 operation, using nine former United Air Lines DC-3's. Germany's Deutsche Lufthansa airline will resume operation within Europe and to Cairo next spring and will fly to North and South America a year later, using four Convair 340's and four Lockheed Super Constellations initally. New York Airways started its first all-passenger helicopter flights last month between New York's three airports, and also has placed in effect a passenger reservation system on combination mail-passenger flights. Northwest Airlines will lease four Douglas DC-6A's from The Flying Tiger Line for a period of seven years at $26,071 rental per month per plane. Planes are to be converted to DC-6B's at the Tiger's expense. Philippine Air Lines has purchased a Hiller 12B as part of a program designed to determine the feasibility of incorporating helicopters in its domestic inter-island operations. Four fixed-base operators-Combs Flying Service, Sky-Taxi, Highway Airport & Flying Service, and Ray Willis, mgr. of Fayetteville, Ark., airport-began scheduled air taxi operations Sept. 1 under the name of Scheduled Skyways. Using four- and five-place Cessna aircraft, the company operates out of Tulsa, Okla., and Fayetteville, serving 10 cities on seven routes on a two-flights-a-day schedule. National Air Taxi Conference has approved Mustang Aviation, Inc., for air taxi operations out of Love Field, Dallas. Mustang has signed passenger interchange agreements with 17 airlines. Cause of the ditching of an Air France Lockheed Constellation in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Turkey was reported to have been the loss of the #3 engine from the airplane, followed by severe vibration and loss of propeller control on the #4 engine. Wreckage will not be raised, but the investigation will continue. Northwest Airlines is running an operational evaluation of the Grimes rotating red beacon mounted on the fin of a Boeing Stratocruiser. Aviation Bookshelf PILOT AND AIR-CREW HANDBOOK.
