Abstract: The file contains correspondence in the form of telegrams and letters related to the American civil air facilities in Muscat. The United States Government asked to obtain permission from the Sultan of Muscat and Oman to fly over but not to land in his territories in operation of a route from Basra to Bombay via Dhahran. The main American air-transport company concerned is Trans-Continental and Western Airways.The file also contains correspondence regarding the following: the use of Shinas landing ground by the Americans; the United States Government developing an airport at Dhahran on the Persian Gulf Coast of Saudi Arabia; and surveys taking place by Americans in the Batinah region of Oman.The main correspondents in the file are: the India Office, London; the Political Agent, Muscat; and the Political Resident, Bushire and Bahrain.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 42; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 34-38; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
