This drawing by G. H. Davis gives some idea of the manner in which the upper twin-float seaplane will be carried on the wing of the large flying boat in the Mayo scheme. The two machines take off locked together, virtually forming an eight-engined biplane. When the operational height has been reached, the securing catches are released, the upper unit proceeds on its way and the lower returns to its base.

The Short-Mayo "composite" aircraft consists of a large lightly flying boat which carries the long-range seaplane to the operational and then releases it.

Bleriot sets off on his Channel flight. The machine is the still airworthy Bleriot which occasionally flies in France. An apparently unavoidable departure from strict accuracy is that the Anzani engine is not a three-cylinder of the type used on the memorable flight.

HIGH ASPECT RATIO is but one of the numerous outstanding features to be found in the new Vickers Wellesley medium bomber which has been ordered in quantity for the R.A.F. This machine made its first public appearance at the S.B.A.C. Display this year. The engine in the prototype is a Bristol Pegasus III 690/750 h.p. radial, but the production machines, it is now stated, will have a new type of Pegasus designated the Mk.XVIII. With full load the machine weighs about 10,000 lb.

The Breda 64, as shown in this photograph, is fitted with a 600 h.p. Piaggio Stella radial which gives a maximum speed of about 220 m.p.h. With a 900 h.p. engine it does 267 m.p.h. The pilot, it will be agreed, has an exceptionally good outlook. He will probably need it, as well as the "quintessence of aerial heroism".

FOR EXPRESS DELIVERY of just retribution and similar loads: The new Bristol 142 (two Bristol Mercury VI S engines), which is credited with a top speed of about 270 m.p.h. A modified version is being built as a medium bomber for the Royal Air Force Other aerial photographs of this noteworthy machine appeared in Flight last week.

COMING EVENTS .... The "shadow" in this case (seen above in the capable hands of Capt. C. F. Uwins) is the Bristol 142 medium bomber (two Bristol Mercury VI S engines). This is the actual machine recently presented to the Air Ministry by Lord Rothermere. A modified version is being built in large numbers for the Royal Air Force. With three-bladed variable-pitch airscrews and a retractable undercarriage this machine has been credited with a top speed of about 270 m.p.h. What the production model will do cannot be stated.

The Bristol 142 Britain First, designed as a high-speed transport for Lord Rothermere, was the first twin to adopt VP propellers. The performance was so spectacular that the 142 was developed into the Blenheim bomber.

TOWARD THE FLYING WING. The Burnelli UB-14A, which, fitted with two geared and supercharged Pratt and Whitney Hornets, is said to have a performance equal to, if not better than, that of more conventional monoplane transports with similar power. Fourteen passengers are carried and there is ample baggage accommodation in the wings and fuselage. This is the machine in which Clyde Pangbourne once intended to fly non-stop round the world.

OUT OF THE RUT: This is the machine which the Italian Piaggio concern has designed for Transatlantic work. It should cruise, they say, at about 250 m.p.h., and it is intended that the crossing should be made "in stages." There are four liquid-cooled Isotta Fraschinis giving a total maximum power of 3,360 h.p. It appears that the hull is specially designed to facilitate emergency alightings on water. One notable feature not apparent in this view is the negative dihedral angle on the inboard sections of the wings.

APTLY NAMED: This is the Seversky amphibian which, fitted with a Wright Cyclone nine-cylinder radial of 750 h.p., recently broke the world's speed record for machines in its class with a speed of 230.03 m.p.h. The fastest lap of the course was made at 236 m.p.h. At the controls was the designer of the machine, Major Alexander de Seversky, who is seen in this photograph. He was accompanied on the record flight by his spaniel.
