AFTER THE TYRE BURST: One of the new Douglas DB-7 bombers came to rest like this after a take-off on the Los Angeles aerodrome. The pilot, Bill Coyne, was unhurt, but the undercarriage collapsed and the airscrews were bent somewhat

One of the earlier type Messerschmitt Me 109 single-seater fighters being refuelled at the Aspern aerodrome near Vienna. The machine has a Junkers Jumo 210 engine of 650 h.p. and quite a low performance.

The centre engine of the Do 24 is set rather higher than the outboard units. It will be noted in this view that the bow turret has been retracted.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Dornier Do.24 - ГерманияGermany - 1937

The hull of the Do 24 is broad in the beam and quite roomy. This view shows the navigator's compartment. The box-like device on the right of the chart table appears to be part of the inter-communication system.

The tail gun position on the Do 24 follows British practice. It is fairly safe to assume that the German turrets are considerably inferior to our own.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Dornier Do.24 - ГерманияGermany - 1937

Bombs of various sizes can be slung beneath the wings of the Do 24 outboard of the sponsons. It will be seen that the racks are of neat design.

The Heinkel He 111 K bomber is being employed extensively for strategical reconnaissance. One of these machines, which are supposed to do something like 270 m.p.h., is seen through the front gunner’s position of a similar aircraft.

Brought down at the Scottish village of Humbie, near Dalkeith, this Heinkel in bomber was riddled by machine gun bullets. The smaller holes are made by the bullets entering, the larger by them leaving.

Bent and broken, the wreck of the Heinkel 111, brought down in the Lammermuirs last Saturday, still remains sufficiently intact to make a close study instructive. The engines are of Junkers direct-injection type.

A Flight composite picture of what the rear gunner of a Do 17 might see of a Hurricane eight-gun fighter as it broke off its attack. The story of a fight between a Hurricane and a Do 17 is told in the following pages. It is related how a young New Zealander caught up with his quarry at 27,000ft. and, giving it "all he had," sent it crashing into a village. By a stroke of good fortune none of the villagers was killed.

Germany's new Junkers Ju 88 high-speed twin-engined bomber. There is probably internal stowage, but it is certain that bombs are also carried beneath the centre section. It is believed that the type can be used for dive-bombing.
So far as can be gathered from a small Leica transparency showing the machine at a distance, the Junkers Ju 88 bomber looks essentially like this Flight “reconstruction.”

An annular nose-type radial characterises the installation of the Jumo 211 in the latest Junkers bombers. This is used in conjunction with controllable gills. It will be seen that the exhaust stubs are of the rearward-facing type.

These aircraft are being replaced by types which bear comparison with, and on certain points may be superior to, any military machines in the world.

Its good take-off and landing qualities enable the Battle to operate from aerodromes of comparatively small dimensions. It will be seen above how the fine lines of the machine are broken up when the wheels and flaps are lowered.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Fairey Battle - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1936

A GOOD BACKGROUND: Pilots of the Belgian Air Force get together before a trim line-up of their Fairey Battle bombers. The version of the Battle supplied to Belgium is basically similar to the R.A.F. type but has a longer radiator cowling and a smoother camouflage finish, both of which refinements contribute to a slightly improved performance. The Battle is used not only for bombing but for strategical reconnaissance duties.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Fairey Battle - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1936

The answer is in the negative. A member of the crew of a Fairey Battle passes the exposed plates to photographer for development. Curiously enough, this particular photographic Battle bears the letters "M.Q."
A Battle has no sooner rolled to a standstill after a reconnaissance flight over the lines than the photographic plates are passed down to waiting hands.

NAVAL NOVELTY: The Curtiss XSO-3C1 with a twelve-cylinder inverted-vee Ranger engine is a new American type for operation from warships. Its float undercarriage is among the cleanest yet designed. Visibility is obviously very good indeed and the machine should be quite fast for one of its type.
The alighting gear of this Curtiss observation seaplane shows the American tendency towards a single float.

THE CAMOUFLAGE CULT: A production-type Bristol Beaufort multi-purpose monoplane as now being introduced into squadrons of the R.A.F. It has been stated that this machine is appreciably faster even than the Blenheim Mk.IV, which means that it does 300-and-some m.p.h. The engines are small-diameter Bristol Taurus sleeve-valve radials. Beauforts are to be built on a large scale, not only in England, but in Australia.
