The Stout "Bat-Wing" Limousine Monoplane: An American machine of somewhat unusual design. The cantilever wings, which are of veneer construction throughout, have an exceptionally large chord at the roots
The Do.Rs.I: This machine is the first of the Dornier series of Zeppelin flying boats, and has biplane wings. All his subsequent flying boats were monoplanes.
The Do.Rs.IIa getting off: Note the absence of spray.

The Do.Rs.II: Side view, showing open tail girder.
The Do.Rs.IIa: This machine is a development of the Rs.II, and has the engines placed above the hull, with direct drive to the airscrews.
The Do.Rs.III: In this machine the tail is carried on a fuselage placed above the wing.
The Do.Rs.III: Front View.
The Do.C.I: This machine was the first to employ smooth metal covering of the fuselage without internal bracing.
THE DO.C.I: Sections, etc., of the metal spars.
The Revival of the "Pusher." - There are probably a good many people who have been under the impression that the old "pusher" type of aeroplane was dead. Messrs.Vickers, Ltd., appear to be among those who think otherwise, for they have just brought out a new school machine which is of the pusher type. The cockpits are arranged to reproduce, as far as possible, "Vimy'' conditions, and the new machine, the "V.I.M." is intended for tuition work preparatory to instruction on the "Vimy."
The Do.Cs.I: This machine was a twin float seaplane somewhat similar to the Hansa-Brandenburg.
THE DO.D.I: Three-quarter rear view.
THE DO.D.I: This land machine is entirely without wire or cable bracing, the wings being of the cantilever type and the fuselage having metal covering. Note the faired undercarriage members.
