Carrying a gun in the nose of its nacelle, the D.H.2 pusher (100 h.p. Gnome Monosoupape) was very effective against the Fokkers.

"A DRESS REHEARSAL": Some D.H.9a's of No.39 Bombing Squadron carrying out evolutions over Hendon.
The D.H.9A (400 h.p. Liberty engine), which was introduced in 1918 and remained in extensive use until a few years ago, may be regarded as one of the typical intermediate types between the early and the modern military aeroplanes.Самолёты на фотографии: De Havilland D.H.9A - Великобритания - 1918

AMUSING - AND INSTRUCTIVE. Herr Ernst Udet, the German pilot, with the Curtiss "Cyclone-Hawk" which was acquired for aerobatic displays - and, possibly, as an example of a modern fighter.

QUEER BEASTIES FROM AMERICAN WATERS. A flight of Curtiss BF2C-1's from America's latest aircraft carrier Ranger. These peculiar-looking retractable-undercarriage biplanes are fitted with 700 h.p. "Cyclones" giving a maximum speed of well over 200 m.p.h., and, apart from their employment as fighters, are used extensively as dive bombers, when they carry nearly 500 lb. of projectiles apiece.

The photograph illustrate the attack of a flight of "Gauntlets" on a flight of "Harts." In the picture one fighter is seen on the left, coming up behind and below the starboard bomber, while two "Gauntlets," one behind the other, are stalking the port bomber which appears on the right of the picture.

Another view of the attack by the "Gauntlets," which shows still more clearly one fighter tackling the starboard bomber while two approach the port bomber. If their attacks are successful the leading "Hart" will be left alone to deal with all three fighters.

This remarkable photograph shows the attack from the fighter's point of view. The head of the fighter pilot is naturally out of focus. He has now got into position in the blind spot below the "Hart" and is about to riddle it with bullets from his two Vickers guns.

The photograph illustrate the attack of a flight of "Gauntlets" on a flight of "Harts." In the picture is shown the view of the gunner in the port "Hart" as the two fighters approach him. He dare not fire at them for fear of hitting his own fin, but must trust to cross fire from the "Hart" on his starboard side.

The gunner in a "Hart," disregarding a fighter which is under his own tail, is aiming his gun at a "Gauntlet" which is attacking the "Hart" on his left. The bomber formation relies almost entirely upon cross-fire.

ICH DIEN: It is fitting that the new De Havilland "Dragon Rapide" for H.R.H. the Prince of Wales should have been completed at this time - Their Majesties' Silver Jubilee, which, incidentally, marks a period of twenty-five years that has seen British aviation grow from a very small beginning. The machine was photographed by a Flight photographer in the bright sunlight above the heavy clouds which covered the Home Counties last week-end. Mr. Waite, one of the makers' test pilots, was delivering the machine to the Prince's hangar at Hendon.

AN INTERESTING CONTRAST to models of modern aeroplanes is this scale-model F.E.2D, made for the Science Museum, London. Museum models of this kind are usually made from wood with brass or aluminium details, and at least three coats of paint (usually cellulose) are very carefully applied, with a rubbing-down between each. The makers of this and a number of other models in the Museum are the Models Manufacturing Company, 43, Newington Causeway, London, S.E.1.
