Since the surveying job is bigger than any single agency could afford, all interested parties have agreed to pool their findings. Thus into the pot go the charts made by Pan American, by the British Arctic Air Route Expedition and by Germany's Von Gronau in the north; and by Imperial Airways at Bermuda, Aeropostale at the Azores, where France got exclusive operating privileges from Portugal. Imperial, of course, has practically automatic concessions...
