"... it was decidedly interesting to have the chance of flying something really large with this type of undercarriage.'' Douglas DB-7 shown here is probably one of the largest military aeroplanes fitted with tricycle undercarriage.

America has developed a single-seater shipboard fighter to a very high pitch. The machine illustrated is the Brewster F2A-1 now in production.
Pilots have nicknamed the Brewster the "Peanut Special," or the "Flying Barrel." The undercarriage is unusual but very sturdy and accounts for the fuselage shape.Самолёты на фотографии: Brewster F2A Buffalo / B-239 - США - 1937

There is quite a possibility that the Brewster fighter may, as shown in Flight copyright drawing, be used for warding off attacks by Junkers dive bombers.

I.O.D.E. PRESENTATIONS: A Bristol Bolingbroke given to the Royal Canadian Air Force by the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire was recently handed over at Ottowa. Present at the ceremony, and seen from left to right in the photograph, are Wing Cdr. McLeod; Princess Alice; Mrs. W. B. Horkins, I.O.D.E. President; the Earl of Athlone, Governor-General of Canada; and Air Comdre. L. S. Breadner, Chief of Air Staff, R.C.A.F. The Bolingbroke, it will be remembered, is a Canadian variant of the long-nosed Bristol Blenheim. Like the Blenheim it is powered with two Mercury VIII engines and has a top speed of nearly 300 m.p.h. at 15,000 ft. The armament consists of one forward-firing gun mounted in the port wing and one free gun in a retractable power-operated turret situated mid-way on top of the fuselage.
