DUPLICATED: Latest of the British Aircraft Manufacturing Company's developments, the Double Eagle is eventually likely to be of considerable interest to the smaller air line or charter operator. The pilot has a very good view in all essential directions and, with the low-middle-wing arrangement, the passengers, too, will be able to take an interest in earthly matters. The engines are Gipsy Majors.
