At the Wasserkuppe, Alexander Lippisch, in the light of Fritz Stamer's experience with pupils, made many detailed improvements to the Pegasus design, to produce the Zoegling trainer. The front strut was removed, leaving the pilot entirely in the open with no structure in front or on either side to cause injury in a crash. Spinal injuries of a minor kind were fairly common. The design was changed in many details over the years. The Zoegling was produced in quantity by Schleicher, Fieseler and many others, with a great many built by amateurs and clubs all over the world. Many derived versions, like the British Dagling, were also developed.

FROM AN AIRY PERCH in a primary sailplane, Mr. W. P. Stevens, a Canadian reader, took this photograph of himself with the aid of a camera on the wing-tip and a length of cotton. The photograph was taken 800ft. over the city of Lethbridge, Alberta, a district abounding in "thermals" of a kind to delight the soaring pilot.

Capt. Joseph Thoret looking over his glider before taking off, and giving a demonstration of towed gliding at the Vincennes Meeting held on May 24 and 25. Capt. Thoret will be remembered by readers of "Flight" for the trips he gives over the Alps from the aerodrome of Passy-Le Fayet in his Potez machines. His knowledge of gliding has helped him a great deal when flying round Mount Blanc, and he has often made prolonged flights with his engine throttled right down.
Another view of the Karachi-built glider, which has been called the "Desert Fowl."

The spectacular color scheme is believed to have been red and yellowish cream with red registration and the Hungarian tricolor, red (uppermost), white and green, on the rudder. A Zoegling trainer was in the background.
