Writing in the Sky

It is illegal for air pilots to do sky-
writing in England, but recently
Londoners saw their first display of it
for some time, because the ban was
lifted to allow an aeroplane to in-
augurate a mission to London by
tracing huge golden smoke over the
capital.

The inventor of this novelty was
Major J. C. Savage, a British air
pilot, and during his first display over

Britain he wrote the name of a daily
newspaper which, against a blue sky
and over a distance of four miles, was
plainly visible and very much
frightened people who were at a loss
to understand what it was all about.
The flight took 32 minutes, and as he
flew at a height of 10,000 feet his
aeroplane gave out a control track of
flame-tinted smoke. When he had
completed his task it was found that
he had taken his plane more than 10
miles in and out to write the name
of the newspaper.

Sky-writing pilots always write
backwards, the reason being that they
are above the words while their
readers are below. They use the sun
to steer by and keep position, and each
letter is anything up to half a mile
long.

Searchlights are often used in an-
other method of sky-writint’. They
throw letters over 1,200 feet in height
on the clouds at an altitude of 6,000
feet. To perfect this form of sky-
writing the inventor worked for five
years on it.—New South Wales Police
