Flight
A Flying "Pigeon Loft'': This Junkers monoplane has been converted by a Belgian company for carrying pigeons, the Belgians being fond of pigeon races.
The Curtiss night bomber: A large number of these machines (over 90) were built for the U.S. Air Service during the summer of 1923. The N.B.S.1, as it is called, is a twin-engined biplane on the lines of the Martin bomber. It possesses, however, several important modifications, principally in the position of the two Liberty engines and in the strengthening of the fuselage. As will be seen, the wings can be folded back, and when folded the outer extensions are rigidly supported by means of auxiliary struts at the hinge.
The Sesefsky biplane: A reconnaissance machine, designed by Eng. S. Sesefsky, Director of Civil Aviation in Roumania.

AN UNORTHODOX SEAPLANE: The Gallaudet D.4, as used by the U.S. Naval Air Service. The outstanding feature of this machine is that the engine - a 400 h.p. Liberty - is located inside the fuselage (between the planes) and drives through an ingenious system of gearing a propeller mounted on, and "dividing," the fuselage itself. This machine has a span of 46 ft. 4 ins. and an overall length of 33 ft. 5 ins., its speed being 126 m.p.h.
THE FIRST MID-AIR CONTACT BETWEEN AIRSHIP AND AEROPLANE: On September 18 last, Lieut. R. K. Stoner, flying a Sperry "Messenger," maintained contact with the U.S. Army Blimp Airship, "D.3," for about one minute over Langley Field.
