COMMERCIAL CURTISS: A new thirty-passenger monoplane is being built by the Curtiss Company, who presumably have had enough of seeing Douglas and Lockheed have everything their own way. This sketch shows the lay-out, particularly the fine shape of the fuselage.

PRODUCTION PURSUIT: The Curtiss P.36 single-seater pursuit machine now in production for the U.S. Army Air Corps. Its Twin Wasp engine has a cowing of elliptical section. The performance is probably rather inferior to that of the Hurricane.

SITTING PRETTY: The pilot presumably having followed the modern theory that a forced landing on doubtful ground is safest with under-carriage retracted, this Fairey Battle suffered very little apparent damage when put down be­side the Warrington-Tarporley road. The reader who sent the photograph says that the field was barely six times the length of the machine.

It is seen on Quito Aerodrome, which is surrounded by mountains, and difficult to approach in bad weather (the company was recently unlucky enough to lose its founder, Herr Fritz Hammer, when the clouds closed down on a machine which he was flying out of Quito). In spite of such difficulties, the line gives valuable service, notably by reducing the time from Quito to Guayaquil to hours as compared with a two-day train journey.

RECORD-BREAKER: Last month the Arado 79 broke, by a wide margin, two records in the light aircraft category which were previously held by Czechoslovakia. These were each for 100 km., the speeds being practically 142.5 m.p.h. in each case. The machine was a perfectly standard one with a Hirth MM 504 A2 of 105 h.p. and, as the air was extremely bumpy during the flights, this record speed can be treated as the normal maximum of the type. This Arado two-seater cabin machine is of mixed construction and, unusually enough in such a small machine, it has a retractable undercarriage. The tail design will be seen as typically Arado and the cabin arrangements have certain slight resemblances to those of the American Ryan S-C monoplane.
