SUMMER AT SCHIPHOL: This aerial view of Amsterdam's airport gives an idea of the tremendous number of people who are encouraged to come out during the weekend and on fine evenings in the summer. On the tarmac axe half a dozen assorted Douglas while on the right are F.22’s and F-36’s, which are now used for joy riding. The Schiphol runway extensions to the north are now complete.

K4240 photographed in the late summer of 1936; it was painted glossy grey-green all over. In the H.P.52 or Hampden slots and flaps have taken the place of the early plan form, and the power has gone up to about 1,500 h.p.Самолёты на фотографии: Handley Page Hampden / H.P.52 - Великобритания - 1936

FLYING FORTRESS, CIRCA, 1916: Three “field service” Lewis guns formed the armament of this war-time BE.2C of No. 4 Squadron. The barrel casings with their internal finning were retained, no doubt, because the machine could not attain a sufficiently high speed to cool the naked barrels. Other points to note are the external aerial drum and the camera held by the pilot.

Known as the O/400, the large bomber laid the real foundation of the greatness of the house of Handley Page.
The first British twin-engined bomber, the Handley Page O/400, had two Rolls-Royce "Eagle" engines of 360 h.p. each. This type did not come into service until near the end of the war. This type was to have been used for bombing Berlin, but the Armistice intervened.Самолёты на фотографии: Handley Page H.P.12 (O/400) - Великобритания - 1917

MORE COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE: An improved version of the Mk. II Handley Page "Heyford" heavy bomber. Points to notice are the enclosed pilots' cockpit, four-bladed airscrews, which are driven by fully supercharged "Kestrels VI" engines of 600 h.p. in streamlined nacelles, and the bomb-aimer's position. The rear gunner's cockpit has also been modified.

Регистрационный номер : G-AFDP [4] The C.40 Autogiro is considerably “cleaned-up,” as compared with the C.30, by a streamline casing around the upper part of the pylon and a windscreen of generous dimensions in front of the cockpit. In spite of side-by-side seating the machine looks slimmer than its predecessor.

In the right-hand view (joined to the other in correct relative position as regards the ground) the machine has just “jump-started" from the spot in which it landed. Note the forward tilt, which helps the forward acceleration.

DUTCH PROTOTYPE: The Fokker D.23 single-seater twin-engined fighter (inverted vee-twelve air-cooled Walter Sagittas) photographed shortly after its first flight. This machine was exhibited at the last Paris Salon and may be regarded as the prototype of aircraft with two Rolls-Royce Merlins or Daimler Benz D.B. 601s. It is designed for one shell-gun and two large-bore machine guns firing explosive bullets.

The first Handley Page biplane, produced in 1913, also had the familiar H.P. plan form. In the picture it is seen flying without a tailplane by way of demonstrating that this was unnecessary.

Регистрационный номер : NC18978 View of the new American Harlow two/four seater lightweight (or nearly so), some details of which were given in Flight of April 13. It is of all-metal construction and has a top speed of 170 m.p.h. The perforated flaps are interesting, and should act as air brakes rather than as lift flaps.

Регистрационный номер : F-ARAP ATLANTIC ADDITION: The new Latecoere 521, Ville de Saint Pierre, which has recently been undergoing pre-Atlantic trials at Biscarosse, where the machine is seen here. It follows the lines of its predecessor, the well-known Lieutenant, and will be used with the latter for Air France Transatlantique’s experimental crossings, preparatory to the appearance of still larger boats which are in course of construction.

Регистрационный номер : G-AFCI [2] SHORT’S LATEST: The Golden Hind was launched at Rochester last Saturday. This 32-ton craft, the first of the “G” class, will be used for mail carrying only, and will have a range of more than 3,000 miles. The most noticeable difference from the Empire boats, apart from size, lies in the shape of the rear step. Four Bristol Hercules provide the power.

Регистрационный номер : G-AFCI [2] UP-TO-THE-MINUTE: In this issue of Flight is told the story of Imperial Airways and its flying equipment from the earliest days. Here is the very latest addition to its marine aircraft fleet - the Golden Hind, first of the three 32-ton "G"-class boats, fitted with four Bristol Hercules engines each. She is seen almost ready for her launching this week.

Регистрационный номер : NX21731 FOR EXPORT AIRLINES? The new Consolidated Model 31 boat. Its lines are somewhat unusual and give an impression of compactness and small size which is belied by the figure seen near the nose. Judging from the fact that no appreciable window area is to be seen, this prototype has been built either for mail carrying or purely record-making purposes. The engines are 2,000 h.p. Wright two-row radials - seen in a machine for the first time.
Probably the fastest flying boat in the world, this new Consolidated has two 2,000 h.p. Duplex Cyclones and is expected to be capable of a tremendous range.Самолёты на фотографии: Consolidated XP4Y Corregidor - США - 1939
