Big bombers: Armstrong Whitworth Whitleys (shown) and Vickers-Armstrongs Wellingtons are two of the key types operating with the Bomber Command. Both machines have put up a magnificent showing when attacked by enemy fighters, their armament being five machine guns each. These are mounted in power-driven turrets.

EGYPT TESTS HER DEFENCES. Massed flights took place over Cairo last week, the population being greatly impressed by Britain's air strength. Here are three Bristol Blenheims flying over the pyramids.
These Bristol Blenheims, were part of a massed flypast over Cairo in May 1940, staged to impress the locals with Britain’s air might.Самолёты на фотографии: Bristol Blenheim - Великобритания - 1936

Although, as will be seen in the view, the He 113 is a handy-looking machine, its manoeuvrability may be severely handicapped by a high wing loading.

JAGDEINSITZER: The latest fighter to be issued to squadrons of the Luftwaffe is the Heinkel He 113. Some comments on this machine, which must have considerably less fire power and be less manoeuvrable than our Spitfire and Hurricane, appear on the next page.

Since the beginning of the war the armament of the Hampden has been revised. It will be seen that there are twin Vickers K guns on upper and lower rear mountings and a movable gun firing downwards through the nose. A fixed Browning is provided for the pilot.

A GREAT FIGHTER: It is related on another page how nine Hawker Hurricane eight-gun fighters accounted for ten out of twenty Ju 87 dive-bombers. The success of the Hurricane is due not only to its heavy fire power but to its extreme manoeuvrability.

A slim fuselage and generally business-like lines characterise the Martin 167F.
France has already taken delivery of a considerable number of American Martin 167F multi-purpose machines. These can carry a bomb load of 1,250 lb., though it is understood that the French versions will be used mainly for reconnaissance. The fine lines of the 167F are shown in these two new photographs.Самолёты на фотографии: Martin Maryland / Type 167 - США - 1939

WHAT DID THEY SCRATCH OUT ? This picture of Ju 87 dive-bombers in Norway has apparently been "doctored" by the German censors. It will be seen that the under surfaces of the wings have been obliterated. In the foreground are 250-kg. bombs and behind the "87s" a Ju 52 transport without its undercarriage.

THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY. The pilots' cockpit of the first Boeing 307, now known by Pan American Airways as the Stratoclipper class. The design of windscreen is rather puzzling, as each panel appears to be divided into four. The dividing lines might possibly be reinforcement to strengthen the transparent panels against the internal pressure. The two extra struts in the middle may be part of the instrument board structure. The three sun visors should be noted.
