is to their sons in the air.

The popularity of the large, unwieldy, slow, expensive Dirigible over the light, swift Plane is mainly due to the former's immunity from pitch.

Collison's forward-socketed Air Van renders it impossible for any plane to pitch. The C. F. S. is automatic, simple as a shutter, certain as a power hammer, safe as oxygen. Fitted to any make of plane.
