PIONEER: The Russian A.N.T.25 (950 h.p. M.34) which lately captured the world's long-distance record by flying for about 6,650 miles in 62 hours. This is the world's largest single-engined aircraft. Despite the 947 sq. ft. of wing area the take-off occupied 2,000 yds.

THE BETTER HALF - or, at least, the larger portion of the Short-Mayo composite. Basically an Empire boat, Maia has flared-out chines to give better stability on the water when carrying her seaplane, the inboard Pegasus engines are set farther out from the hull to clear the float plane's under-carriage and fixed-pitch airscrews, doubtless designed for efficiency at take-off are fitted.

D/L? This picture of the Focke-Wulf helicopter suggests that the familiar ratio of lift to drag may have to be reversed in importance. Some years ago this German firm obtained rights in the Cierva Autogiro, but the new machine is a complete departure. It recently broke all the world's helicopter records (including a speed of 76 m.p.h., height of over 8,000 ft., and duration of 1h. 20m.) and it definitely is able to rise and descend vertically.

The standard power unit is the 240 h.p. Argus vee-eight, giving the machine a maximum speed of 130 m.p.h. The three occupants are seated in tandem.

GOOD HUNTING: Anti-aircraft gunners gave the lie to those who say that they will have only a moral effect on air raiders, when the 171st Battery, 61st A.A. Brigade R.A., Territorial Army, formerly known as the Finsbury Rifles, shot down a Queen Bee at their camp at Watchet, Somerset, on August 13. The Queen Bee, developed from the Tiger Moth, is a target aeroplane, controlled by wireless. They were intended for use by the Fleet, but this year they have been supplied for use by the Army too. As shown in these exclusive photographs, this one was catapulted into the air and she rose to 4,000 feet over the Bristol Channel. She was about a mile off when two A.A. guns opened fire, and the third volley hit her behind the engine. At first it was feared that she might crash on to the Battery, but she came down in the sea. The Gipsy Major engine broke loose and sank, but the fuselage and portions of the wings were salvaged.

ON the river Nile at Malakal, the terminal port for the Imperial Airways flying boats in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, large islands of floating papyrus (Cyperus Papyrus) and Um Soof (Vossia Procera) are encountered between May and September. This seasonal scourge is caused by the fact that the floods from the great lakes loosen the roots of the vegetation in the swampy areas farther south. Eventually, large sections break away from the main mass and drift slowly downstream, a menace to flying boats. The photograph shows Canopus safely moored with the floating islands drifting past.

VEST-POCKET VELOCITY: One of the first pictures of the new T.K.4 racing monoplane, designed and built by students of the De Havilland Technical School. It is only 19ft. 8in. in span and 15ft. 6in. in length. Fitted with the new Gipsy Major Series II engine and D.H. v.p. airscrew, it has been designed for a speed of 215 m.p.h. and, entered by Lord Wakefield, is to compete in the King's Cup Race. It is seen in an unpainted condition.
