Summary

Pathe synopsis: The first baby to float solo for hours on end? We make no claims but certainly the doctors at the Institute of Aviation Medicine have succeeded in making the first reliable life raft for babies in arms. Here in the swimming pool we see baby Susan securely and happily weathering the man-made waves. Should an aircraft have to "ditch" in the sea these "flotation cots" will give the babies an excellent chance of survival.
