Acceleration and airspeed data taken on three Martin M-130 airplanes operated on trans-Pacific routes during the prewar and wartime periods have been analyzed and the results support previous indications that airplane speed in regions of turbulent air is a significant factor in the life of airplanes. During the prewar period greater route roughness is indicated in trans-Pacific operations over transcontinental routes of the United States or over Caribbean routes.
