CORDOVA TO HAVE AIRPLANE SERVICE
Assurance that Cordova would have an airplane stationed here as was promised by Pilot Clayton L. Scott, General Manager of the Gorst Air Transport Company, was given late Saturday in a cable from him to the Cordova Daily Times. Scott reported that he was leaving Portland, Oregon, Saturday night for New York City to accept delivery on a new Loening amphibian cruiser plane, of the same type and capacity as the amphibian "Alaskan," with which he pioneered the air lanes across the Gulf of Alaska. Scott said that the airplane factories in the States are rushed to death and can not keep up with the demand for planes, but that the ship, which they had ordered some months ago, should be ready for delivery by the time that he gets to New York. The plane in which so many Cordovans saw the country up here, is now busy operating hourly service between Seattle and the naval station and town of Bremerton, Scott wired, and, though this is the shortest airline in the world, it is making a tremendous success.
