UNITED STATES PLAN: From this picture it is clear that the Mohawk used for the mock fight still had the French armament. The flush-fitting bomb racks under each wing can also be seen.

BATTLE BEGINS: The Me gets on the Mohawk's tail before starting the inevitable circling match. If the performance of the two machines is equal, it is the one that flies straight to break off the fight which is in danger.

Thousands of men from all walks of life are being instructed as mechanics, fitters and riggers in the R.A.F. training schools, and it is ultimately upon their skill and efficiency in aircraft maintenance that the supremacy of the British fighter-pilot and bomber crew depends. This picture was taken at a typical training school in the West Country where men who were, a few weeks ago, behind office desk or shop counter are now proving keen to learn their new job. Here is a class of flight riggers whose instructor apparently finds a Spitfire cockpit a convenient vantage point from which to lecture.

A Spitfire has its three-bladed de Havilland constant-speed propeller fitted in 1940/41.

APART from its beauty of outline, the Merlin-engined Fulmar has excellent manoeuvrability and heavy punishing power. Batteries of four machine guns are carried in each wing, outside the disc of the airscrew and, therefore, able to develop their full rate of fire. Beneath the fuselage can be seen the spools for catapult take-off. The tail of the photographic machine which appears in one of the pictures belongs to a Fairey Swordfish. The two types in collaboration have done excellent work in the Mediterranean. It is likely that the work of the Swordfish in Taranto Harbour more than paid for the whole Swordfish contract.

WINGED CLIPPER. The first of the six new-type Boeing Clippers (which we showed as a "clipped Clipper" moving wingless out of the factory in the March 13th issue) has now been launched and is here seen being taken sideways down the Duwamish River from Seattle to Puget Sound for flight testing. Pan American announce that they expect to increase their present three return Atlantic trips per week to four in May, when the first new boat goes into service. Later, six trips per week will be run. Three of the six new Clippers will be made available to Britain.

The Ryan YO-51 was designed for army co-operation and artillery observation. Reminiscent of the Handley Page Gugnunc, the Ryan achieves its low stalling speed by the fitting of full-span slots and Fowler flaps of very wide chord. The performance of this aeroplane has not yet been released by the U.S. Army Air Corps, nor have the details of its lateral control device. Span is 52ft., chord 7ft. 8in., length 34ft. 5in., and the engine is a Pratt and Whitney Wasp of 420 h.p. driving a Hamilton variable-pitch airscrew. The total loaded weight is 3,900 lb.
