Made in Germany: A correspondent sends us this photograph of a German Fokker biplane which was flown by a Canadian pilot at Shoreham during May of last year

When at a height of about 6,000 ft. the upper plane broke away from the machine, leaving the centre section struts and N struts on the fuselage and lower wing respectively. Needless to say the unfortunate pilot was killed

A Nieuport "NIGHTHAWK" in India. During the later part of last year the British Nieuport Co. sent a Mission out to India, where some excellent propaganda work was done. The Mission was under the leadership of Capt. R. S. Carroll, who had with him Lieut. J. H. James, one of the Nieuport test pilots. On arriving in Bombay the "Nighthawk" was uncrated and erected in record time, and was soon to be seen flying over Bombay. While in India a great number of flights were made, among others one from Bombay to Poona with a load of newspapers. Photograph show: The machine just after arrival at Poona. On the left is Lieut. James, and on the right Capt. Carroll. The Nieuport caused great interest throughout the districts visited, and its handling was much admired. During the next few years India should offer a good field for commercial aviation, and Major Heckstall Smith is to be congratulated on his enterprise in introducing the Nieuport machine to the residents of India.
