Some Books of the Week
SIR SAMUEL HOARE has made a very human document out of his journey to India by Air (Longmans, Green. 6s. 6d.). Sir Samuel evidently throughly enjoyed the whole trip and his pages on the frontier are very interesting. There are splendid illustrations, especially those of -flying over Bannu and of the " Golden Domes of Kazimain," both spots which the present writer recalls somewhat vividly. Lady Maude contributes an excellent introduction, and tells us of how she solved the difficult question of what to carry. She blessed the inventors of aluminium and stockinette ; articles which will
be in much demand among " air-minded " travellers. The book should be in every library and schoolroom as well as on the shelves of those of us who take an interest in flying. * * * *
