FOR TRUNK ROUTES. Douglas DC-3 monoplanes have been ordered by American Airlines, United Airlines, K.L.M. and T.W.A. For night operation, when the machine is usually known as the D.S.T. (Douglas Sleeper Transport), sleeping accommodation for up to fourteen passengers is provided. By day there are seats for twenty-four. The new Wright Cyclone Model G or the Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp engines are variously specified. With Cyclone G2s, which are supercharged to give 850 h.p. at 5,800 feet the maximum speed is 213 m.p.h. The cruising speed at 10,000 ft. is 180 m.p.h. Structurally the machine is similar to the well-established D.C.2. Externally it may be distinguished from that machine by forward continuation of the fin.

THREE-PLACE, THREE-PURPOSE. The first photograph of the new three-seater Potez 63 monoplane planned for fighting, bombing and observation. Two 670 h.p. two-row Hispanos are fitted and are believed to give a maximum speed of the order of 300 m.p.h. Basically the machine may be regarded as being in the same category as our Bristol Blenheim now in production for R.A.F. squadrons. So far as is known no order for the Potez has yet been placed by France.

Four Seversky models gathered together at Farmingdale, Long Island, U.S.A., illustrate the persistence of the family likeness. From left to right are the new amphibian two-seater fighter (three of these have already been delivered to the Colombian Government); a landplane version of the machine on which Major de Seversky, its designer, established the world's amphibian speed record with 230.03 m.p.h.; the 1,000 h.p. Twin-Wasp-powered fighter ordered in quantity by the U.S. Army Air Corps; and the basic trainer for the same service.

OPERATIONAL HEIGHT. Hawker Hind light bombers are now well established as Service equipment. Their engines - Rolls-Royce Kestrel Vs, which give a maximum of 640 at 14,000 ft. - permit them to operate efficiently at high altitudes where they can attain speeds up to 200 m.p.h. This "shot," secured during the recent exercises, depicts Hinds of No. 104 Squadron. Note, incidentally, the new "kidney" type exhausts and the "cut-away" gunners cockpits as on the Demon two-seater fighter.

OPENING UP AFRICA. Mr. K. W. Brett, who set off from Cairo last Sunday in the Shell company's Percival Gull (seen in the photograph) for a six weeks' tour of Africa. He is to carry out preliminary survey work for aircraft refuelling stations in various parts of Africa, including those on the probable track of the West African Imperial Airways service. In company with M. Vuillemin of the Shell Company in Algiers, he will also inspect sites for stations in the Sahara, Nigeria, and French Equatorial Africa.

HIGH-SPEED LUXURY: The latest Beechcraft photographed last Saturday at Lympne whither it was brought by Mr. James Haislip, the European representative. This machine, the C.17.R, is powered with a 420 h.p. Wright Whirlwind (which gives it a maximum speed of 210 m.p.h. at 12,000 feet) and was brought over, appropriately enough, by airship from the States. Surrey Flying Services are the Beech agents for the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In Fig. 1, on the left, the tufts show that most of the port half of the front wing was stalled, due probably to a certain amount of sideslip. The bending inward of the flow at the trailing edge near the tips is seen in Fig. 2, right.

Mignet's latest. The H.M.18 will probably be the French factory-built version of the Pou. Note that the wings do not overlap, and that the front wing is placed much higher than in the original Pou.
