Thoroughly modern in conception, the Douglas DB-7 is being delivered to France equipped primarily for bombing, though it would make a fine strategical reconnaissance aircraft, ground attack machine or fighter.
The Douglas DB-7 bomber exemplifies the American practice of equipping new military types with the nosewheel.Самолёты на фотографии: Douglas A-20 Boston / Havoc / P-70 Nighthawk - США - 1938

DOUGLAS DB-7. Compact design and a tricycle undercarriage characterise the Douglas DB-7, which, like the Martin, has been adopted by France.

The latest Merlin-engined version of the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley heavy bomber, which has done a vast amount of flying by night over Germany, has a redesigned nose as shown in this new Flight photograph. Its turreted armament is very powerful.

A Messerschmitt Me 109 with Daimler Benz DB 600 engine forced down by French anti-aircraft fire. It will be seen that in comparison with our Spitfire and Hurricane the nose entry is not good. A rifle-bore machine gun protrudes from the leading edge.

A German fighter pilot enters his Me 109. It will be seen that this is one of the later machines with Daimler Benz engine. The splayed-out undercarriage and the slotted flaps are points worth noting.

Three specially prepared photographs from identical viewpoints and approximately to scale of the German Messerschmitt Me 109 (top), the Supermarine Spitfire, and the Hawker Hurricane. It will be noted that the British machines are larger but considerably cleaner.

Another of the remarkable reconnaissance photographs secured by the R.A.F. over Germany. This shows the aerodrome at Langen Haagen, ten miles north of Hanover. The great majority of the aircraft are Heinkel He 111Ks. Some are of the latest short-nosed design with straight-edged wings, but others are of the older type with a long nose and wings of elliptical form. On the original it is possible to identify two Junkers Ju 52 bomber transports.

Royal Air Force personnel in Scotland examine the wounded Heinkel He 111 K with great interest. When the Junkers Jumo 211A engines were removed for a more detailed inspection the "secrets" of the German petrol-injection system were revealed, as set out in this article. The Heinkel was shot down in the Lammermuir Hills.

Although no guns are visible in this view, free armament is mounted in the rear cockpit of the Me 110 and fires astern between the twin fins and rudders. The small flaps under the wings may be diving brakes.

It is believed that Germany intends to use the Messerschmitt Me 110 of the type shown here for escort work. Most of its armament is fixed and in bringing it to bear it would leave the bombers exposed.

This special drawing shows how well-proportioned and businesslike is Germany's new twin-engined fighter and multi-purpose aircraft, the Messerschmitt Me 110. It may be inferred from successes scored over these aircraft by our bombers that the type is not so formidable as was at one time believed.

OVER THE NORTH SEA: One of the most popular and successful bombers ever to go into service is the Vickers Wellington which has already done magnificent work in the war. Two of these machines, which carry a very heavy bomb load and are armed with six machine guns, are seen nosing out over the North Sea.

List on the Island of Sylt, is a big German seaplane base as shown by this photograph taken by R.A.F. reconnaissance aircraft. The machines in front of the hangars (C and E) are mostly Heinkel He 115 floatplanes, but there appears to be one Dornier Do 18 flying boat which has two Junkers Deisel engines in tandem. From this the R.A.F. has plotted the position of the wireless station (A), hangars (B and H), cranes (D and F), barracks (J), transport sheds (L) and buildings under construction (M).

It is believed that Heinkel He 115 twin-engined floatplanes have been used extensively for laying mines. These machines, as shown here, have two B.M.W.132 Dc engines. The nose, with its typical German gun-mounting is an interesting feature.
