THE FASTEST TWO-SEATER IN THE WORLD: The Fairey "Fox," fitted with Fairey "Felix" engine, shown in this photograph, is a high-performance two-seater day-bomber. Originally designed by the Fairey Aviation Co. as an entirely independent venture, the machine has now been ordered by the Air Ministry for the Royal Air Force, and is claimed to be the fastest two-seater in the world.
