	Aircraft endurance and altitude records. The GeeBee and Jimmy Doolittle went for speed.
		In Europe in 1929, Imperial Airways announced London-Bombay service which was to originate in London with an 18-passenger plane called The Great Argosy flying by day to Switzerland, where its passengers transferred to rail at night which took them to Italy.
