	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.
		While flight at high altitudes was undertaken first by military pilots testing new frontiers in military aviation, in the longer view it meant that high altitude commercial air traffic could fly clear of low altitude "clutter" with the added benefit of lower fuel consumption for city to city transit.
		The pace of aviation activity from 1929-1931 can be inferred from the fact that this Appendix includes just a tiny fraction of the names, places and records that deserve equal billing with the foregoing aviation experiences.
