Abstract
THE Brookings Institution was established in 1927 with the twin objects of "aiding constructively in the development of sound national policies and... to offer training of a super-graduate character to students of the social sciences". In pursuance of these objects, it initiated in 1943 a programme of economic research in aviation under the direction of Dr. J. Parker Van Zandt. The director has now prepared the introductory volume to a promised series, and he limits himself to outlining the basic setting of the world air transport problem.
