Title:Drum Magazine social history photographs, Nigeria edition 467Description:Oil In Nigeria. How oil was found. Aircraft play a big part. Helicopters and "pioneer" aircraft, which can land and take off on short airstrips, are playing an increasingly important part in taking men and supplies to isolated pioneering groups. The discovery of oil in Nigeria has marked the beginning of a new and vital era in the development of the country. It has opened up vast economic vistas, paths to prosperity along which all may one day tread. The search has been a long and costly one. It has demanded enterprise and capital, daring and foresight.
