FULLY FLEDGED: A Merlin Whitley flying on one engine with the Rotol airscrew of the stopped engine in the fully feathered position. This manner of lowering the head resistance of an engine which has been put out of action may turn the scale between safety and disaster.

DOME OF DEFENCE: The front gunner of a Whitley with his Vickers K gas-operated gun. A spare drum of 60 rounds is mounted on the framework on the right of the turret.

BRINGING HOME THE RENT. Whilst over the target, a shell splinter exploded a large parachute flare, which, in its turn, blew this ten-foot hole in the Whitley's fuselage. Although badly burned in putting the fire out, the crew succeeded in bringing the machine back to their home station, Bravo 1.

Comparative pictures by "J.P." of ten twin tails, all from the same angle: The twin arrangement of fins and rudders has advantages from both aerodynamical and military aspects. It gives the rear gunner an excellent field of fire, especially if the turret is placed fairly far aft. Smaller control areas can be used and, since these surfaces are in the airscrew slipstream, good control is obtained at low speeds.

TAILS UP: The first Consolidated B.24 bomber in R.A.F. warpaint to be flight tested at San Diego, California.
The first of the RAF’s Liberators, AM258 was designated as an LB-30A and is seen here taxying in at the Consolidated factory at San Diego before its delivery to the UK in March 1941. The Liberator’s advanced high-aspect-ratio wing, designed by David R. Davis, gave the aircraft remarkable range - an asset that was to prove invaluable during the Middle East airlifts of 1942.

In this photograph of a partially dismantled Ju 88 the external bomb racks and the fittings for the forward gun can be seen. The massive single-leg undercarriage twists as it retracts backwards. The piping for de-icing the wing by exhaust heat can also be seen. Entrance to the cockpit is by ladder. (Not Hitler with the Contax, but our chief photographer.)

Fuselage construction of the Junkers type has frames of Z section riveted to the skin. "Bowler hat" stringers pass through the frames. The fuselage is made in two halves split on the horizontal diameter.

The square tank in the fuselage is held in by its six holding bolts on the top surface and steadied by fabric straps. This view is drawn underneath the fuselage looking upward.

The various layers of leather and rubber which ensure the self-sealing character of the tank are depicted in this drawing. The only metal in the tank is in the small plates which distribute the load from the holding bolts (which are also vent plugs) to the internal bracing members.

Wiring for the engine installation is very neatly collected into small conduit troughs of aluminium. These have snap-on covers retained by chains, and the wiring is held in position by spring-loaded clips.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Junkers Ju.88 - ГерманияGermany - 1936

A diving brake of liberal size is provided under each wing to limit the speed of dive. For level flight it folds back against the underside of the wing, but does not retract, having apparently been added after the design of the machine was complete.

A self-aligning ball joint on a rod which opens and closes a door on the underside of the fuselage.

Pressure-dumping arrangements in the fuselage tank. Pressure from the superchargers can be applied to the tank when the solenoid-operated valve is opened. The simultaneous opening of the diaphragm in the dump pipe allows the petrol to flow away down this pipe to the tail where it discharges to the atmosphere. It is possible that such a system might be used for the laying of a smoke screen from the air.

The engine mounting of the Jumo 211B is attached to the structure by very convenient ball joints which make for easy changing.

This mass balance in the wing moves horizontally with angular deflections of the aileron. A brake is provided to damp aileron movements and this is operated hydraulically from the pilot's cockpit by a pedal alongside the control column.

Air, taken in behind the radiator, is heated by contact with the exhaust stubs, and passed along the inside of the leading edge of the wing for de-icing purposes. At the tip it is discharged into the wing space to prevent any freezing of tanks or mechanism there.
