   Exceptional field of vision is also a feature of the A.W. 19, which is a general-purpose military machine of the biplane type. The pilot is placed forward of, and on a level with, the leading edge of the top plane. The observer is located aft of the wings, in a well-screened cockpit. The engine of the A.W.19 is a 725 h.p. Siddeley "Tiger." The machine has been designed to carry the very large variety of equipment demanded of a general-purpose aircraft. It has a wing span of 42 ft. 2 in. (12.85 m.). The lower main plane is swept upwards at the roots to give ground clearance for the large items of armament carried.
