Airways |
There must be uniform traffic laws for the air as well as for the sea and for our streets. The task of making and administering the rules and safeguards of air traffic is given to a government body, the Civil Aeronautics Administration, known as the CAA.
What are Airways?
The CAA has established and maintains a vast network of airways, composed of many different kinds of units and manned by many different kinds of experts. Growing rapidly, this great network by 1947 had come to include 300 range stations, 500 position markets, 2,000 beacons, 400 communication stations, 23 large airway traffic control centers. The whole system is knit to gather by 75,000 miles of teletype and telephone lines.
