Beschreibung

Self-wraps, 6pp foolscap. Good with closed tears, some foxing and marks, minor loss, some staining and archival tape reinforcement to lower edges. The Advisory Committee chaired by Lord Weir (late Secretary of State for the RAF) was created to report to Churchill on how best to organise imperial air routes. In this report, it recommends developing the route from Egypt to India first (eventually this would connect on to Australia) and the route to South Africa via Egypt next. This should be led by private business with state support. The GPO should tender out for the corresponding airmail service. The RAF can place surplus engines and other materials at the disposal of the Civil Aviation Department for free distribution. Prohibitions on civil aviation in Egypt and India should be lifted.
