The American aviator, C.P. Rogers, flew across the Union from New York to Los Angeles in 1911, but the journey took him seven weeks and he had eighty stops and five major crashes on the way, for a trip that could be done in safety and comfort by train in five days.
Thus, by 1935, although aviation was not yet quite routine, commercial flying was certainly an increasingly important part of the Australian transport and communication scene, especially where roads and railways were poor.
Wireless, indeed, was becoming an important part of aircraft control, and the relationship between the wireless and the aviation industry in the twentieth century was similar to that between the railway and the telegraph in the nineteenth.

 Wings of Valor - The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell
The Navy, like the Army's old-line command, still considered aviation to be an adjunct of the service--an asset to be utilized but a small portion of the whole.
Such a role would, he argued, necessitate that aviation be formed as a separate branch of service, equal to that of the Army and Navy.
Aviation was still less than two decades old, and most of America still saw flight as a spectator sport, not a way of life.
