AVRO BISON I. The prototype Bison I (N154) was designed as a fleet gunnery spolter and appeared at the second (1923) R.A.F. Pageant at Hendon. It was a three/four-seater, with the observer and wireless operator seated in the cabin between the wings, and a gunner in an open cockpit aft. The pilot was situated high up in the fuselage in front of the top wing. A 450-h.p. Napier Lion powered the Bison.

NORTH AMERICAN (VEGA) NA-35. A shape and an insigne to puzzle most students of "spotting" are illustrated in this photograph of the tandem-seat primary trainer North American NA-35. The all-metal NA-35 is sometimes referred to as the Vega 35 because the complete design was purchased by the Vega off-shoot of the parent Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in 1941. Four examples were built in 1940-41.
The markings are those of the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary search and patrol organisation. The triangular crest on the nose is a Wait Disney cartoon parrot peering through a telescope with the word "Search" at the base. On the rear fuselage the five-pointed star is replaced by a white triangle with three-blade airscrew inset. Powered by a 165-h.p. Menasco Pirate C4S-2 inline, the NA-35 has a maximum speed of 137 m.p.h. at sea-level, cruises at 125 m.p.h. with a service ceiling of 18,500 ft. Loaded weight, 1,760 lb. Span, 29 ft. 8 3/4 in.; length, 25 ft. 6 in.; height, 9 ft. 4 in.
