The Air Traveller's Guide to Europe (Duckworth, 10s.) k a

fascinating volume. Captain Norman Macmillan not only gives all the information necessary to those who are already air-minded, but he also describes some of the most interesting flights, by regular air lines, for instance, from Venice to Vienna, or (by night) from Berlin to Konigsberg, which should incite the more conservative traveller to try tho air. There are maps, on rather too small a scale, of all Euro- pean air routes, and addresses and telephone numbers of all aerodromes connected. Captain Macmillan is obviously not blast about flying himself and he has therefore succeeded in imparting some of the spirit of adventure which still exists —and is likely to continue to exist—in this modern means of transport.
