Air transport of agricultural perishables

Description

The potential usefulness of the airplane for the transportation of agricultural commodities cannot be measured solely in the tonnage of perishables it can carry. Transport aircraft should be considered in terms of potential carry capacity under modern methods of operation rather than as a specific number of planes. The strides the airline industry has made in economies of operation and in the utilization of equipment have increased the carrying capacity of air transportation during the last few years.
