+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+As conjectured last year, considerable further changes have been
+produced in this edition.
+
+When, some five years ago, work on this annual was first commenced, the
+military aviator was an idle dream. Fighting men in dirigibles were a
+bare possibility; but nothing more than that. Every amateur building an
+aeroplane (or even merely intending to build one) in his back garden was
+a possible "conqueror of the air." The aeroplane was going to oust the
+motor car as a sporting vehicle--everyone was quite certain about that!
+Beyond that, nothing!
+
+To-day everything is completely changed and except as a war machine the
+aeroplane is of little interest or use to anyone. A few civilian
+aviators are still flying, but in practically every case they are doing
+so in connection with the business aspect of the question. There is no
+"sport of aviation" such as the prophets foretold a few years ago.
+
+An increasing number of people obtain their pilot certificates and lists
+of these are still given, although the title of "aviator" is in the bulk
+of cases somewhat of a courtesy one, since so few keep on flying once
+they have secured their brevets.
+
+It is as a _war machine_ that the aeroplane has come into its own. The
+Italian aeroplanes over and over again proved their utility in Tripoli.
+Although in the Balkan War aircraft were less in evidence than many
+expected, this may be attributed to the peculiar circumstances of the
+campaign and also to the scarcity of available machines.
+
+Every country is now engaged in forming its aerial fleets. How far the
+naval and military branches will coalesce, or how far they will
+differentiate remains to be seen. The probabilities, at present, all
+point in the latter direction, and that just as an army is made up of
+cavalry, infantry, artillery, etc., and a navy of battleships, cruisers,
+torpedo craft and submarines, so the sky fleets seem destined to consist
+of groups of different types of machines, each type designed for some
+special purpose.
+
+The increased war utility of aircraft has necessitated an extension of
+the pages devoted to organisation of military aviation, etc. The details
+given are by no means as full as I could wish; but all organisations are
+being so continually changed owing to increased experience that
+satisfactory data are not very easy to come by.
+
+During the past twelve months or so we have learned at least one or two
+important things. The mere fact of the possession of aeroplanes by a
+nation is a military factor of comparatively little importance. A nation
+possessing next to no aeroplanes can easily acquire a few hundreds in
+case of emergency _if she has the people to build them_. The real
+problem is two-fold. First, of course, is the possession of trained and
+efficient aviators to fly the machines. Naval and military officers who
+have merely secured their brevets at a flying school are of no immediate
+value; civilians of the same kind are of still less utility.
+
+Second to this is the productive capacity of any country; which may
+roughly be gauged from the number and importance of its firms engaged in
+construction.
+
+These points cannot too strongly be enforced. The air strength of any
+nation in case of war resides in its efficient flying men and in its own
+productive capacity. The next war will see aircraft quite as much
+"contraband" as warships, and the nation which relies upon aerial
+imports will be foredoomed at once. One month is probably the utmost
+effective life of an aeroplane on hard active service and it may well be
+a good deal less. And firms capable of building efficient machines
+cannot be improvised.
+
+A remarkable feature of the last twelve months has been the
+recrudescence of the dirigible, which is now in far greater esteem than
+it was a year ago, or for that matter, ever before. In the past there is
+no doubt that progress was hampered by arguments between the advocates
+of "heavier than air" and "lighter than air," and a curious notion that
+the one could only exist at the expense of the other.
+
+Such ideas are now dead, and it is recognised that for war purposes both
+have their uses and that both are interdependent. It is not quite yet
+realised how intense this interdependence is likely to be.
+
+Briefly the present situation may be summed up as follows: the dirigible
+has enormous potentialities for attack on fortified bases and the like,
+but its powers of defence, guns or no guns, are very slight. A single
+aeroplane should be able to disable or destroy without very great
+difficulty the finest dirigible yet built (supposing it able to find the
+airship in the vastness of the air). The damage that a single aeroplane
+can do to land defences or ships is, however, entirely trivial--at any
+rate at present.
+
+Hence the aerial war unit already formed in Germany, and likely to be in
+existence everywhere else ere another year or so has passed. This unit
+is a dirigible of great offensive powers, associated with a number of
+aeroplanes presumably intended to defend it and ward off and defeat
+attack by hostile aeroplanes.
+
+This is merely the crude beginning, it seems reasonably safe to prophecy
+that in the early future the aerial war-unit will be made up somewhat as
+follows:--
+
+ (_a_) An offensive dirigible, carrying the maximum of bombs, etc.
+
+ (_b_) One or two dirigibles carrying oil and petrol for the
+ aeroplanes--possibly capable of dealing with all minor repairs and
+ of carrying a certain number of aeroplanes on board.
+
+ (_c_) A number of war aeroplanes specially designed for fighting other
+ aeroplanes and attacking hostile dirigibles as chances may occur.
+
+ (_d_) A few very swift one man aeroplanes which will be the eyes of
+ the unit.
+
+This seems an early certainty. After all it merely reproduces for the
+air what centuries of experience have shewn to be essential for fleets
+and armies.
+
+The matter is a fascinating subject for speculation; but in connection
+with a work that exists merely to deal with things as they are at
+present, is perhaps, better not now pursued further. One point, however,
+may perhaps be mentioned, and that is that victory or defeat in aerial
+warfare seems likely to depend upon which side can first destroy the
+other's bases. A base-less dirigible will not live long. This is likely
+to lead to very great attention being paid at an early date to
+anti-aircraft guns and other devices for the defence of aerial bases.
+
+Reverting to the arrangement of the present edition, a few words may be
+said about some of the changes. As stated last year the clumsy old
+system of grouping monoplanes, biplanes, etc., separately has been
+abolished. So many firms specialise in both that any such grouping could
+only lead to confusion.
+
+A tabular system has been generally adopted for most new matter. This
+will be found far more convenient for reference, and of course, saves a
+great deal of space.
+
+The effective age of aeroplanes is somewhat of a vexed question, for
+while one year probably represents the really effective war utility
+endurance, even in peace time, school life is more or less indefinite
+and so is ordinary private life. Consequently--although "dead machines"
+are excluded it has not been possible to draw an exactly uniform age
+limit line beyond that. Speaking generally modern machines represent as
+a rule detail improvements rather than the complete changes of the past.
+For example, the gap between 1911 and 1913, is far less than the gap
+between 1909 and 1911. This fact is beginning to make itself felt in war
+machines.
+
+In Part B an attempt has been made to collect illustrations of
+aeroplanes of the past which for one reason or another possess an
+historical interest. This section is remarkable for two totally
+different things (1) the early anticipations of some modern practice,
+and (2) the past prevalence of certain other ideas which are now totally
+extinct.
+
+Part C deals with aero-engines. It is mainly remarkable--in comparison
+with past issues--for the large number of engines which have ceased to
+exist. It is probably still too ample; as a year hence quite half the
+makers still recorded are likely to disappear. The mere ability to
+construct motor car engines is no longer of value. The aeroplane engine
+designer needs to be a specialist. The absolutely ideal aero-engine no
+doubt yet remains to be produced; but meanwhile the tendency of users to
+concentrate upon fewer makes is increasingly evident, despite the fact
+that the best engine for one particular type of machine is not
+necessarily the best for some other type.
+
+In conclusion I tender my most grateful thanks to all those who have so
+kindly collaborated with or for me in the various sections. The book is
+still some way from being near my ideal, but I have every hope that this
+edition will be generally considered a very considerable improvement
+upon previous issues.

+~Military Aviation: General.~
+
+In June, 1912, a central aeronautical committee was created, under the
+presidency of Prince Fürstenberg, to deal with the creation of a
+national aerial fleet. One of the objects is the perfection of the
+Austrian machines and factories.
+
+About the same date, Pola was selected as a naval aviation school, and
+two _Paulhan-Curtiss_ hydro-avions purchased.
+
+In August the record making _Lohner_ was purchased for the Army.
+
+During September Captain Odolek tested before the military authorities a
+parachute of his invention; and a number were ordered.
+
+In October very strict regulations were issued as to aircraft flying
+over prohibited areas, a rule that any offenders would be shot at was
+subsequently modified.
+
+In November a _Donnet-Lerêque_ was purchased for the Navy and another
+ordered at the Whitehead Works, Fiume.
+
+
+~Army Section.~
+
+At the end of 1911 the Army possessed 4 monoplanes and one biplane (a
+_Lohner_), now available for school work.
+
+During 1912 there were acquired:--
+
+~20 monoplanes.~--1 _Bleriot_, 2 _Nieuport_, 15 _Etrich-Taube_, 1
+_Etrich_ limousine, 1 _Deperdussin_.
+
+~6 biplanes.~--4 _Lohner-Daimler_, 1 _Mars_, 1 _Klobucar_, (of the above
+the 2 _Nieuports_, 1 _Etrich_ limousine and the 4 _Lohners_ were the
+only ones built in Austria).
+
+
+~Naval Section.~
+
+~4 hydro-avions~ were acquired during 1912; 2 _Donnet-Levêque_ and 2
+_Paulhan-Curtiss_.

+
+At the end of 1912 the military air force consisted of three 50 h.p.
+Gnome _H. Farman_ 1911 military, used for instructional purposes, and
+twenty-four 70 h.p. Gnome _H. Farmans_ (model 1912 military), for war
+work:
+
+The military school is at Brasschaet, near Antwerp. Major Campion in
+command.
+
+The course is as follows:
+
+1. _Theoretical course._--Lectures on meteorology, structure of
+aeroplanes, aviation motors, etc.
+
+2. _Practical._--This, in addition to flight, consists of dismounting
+and replacing parts of aeroplanes and aerial motors, all general
+repairs, erecting hangars and aerial photography.
+
+The school possesses nine hangars, of which three are Bessonneau type,
+three wooden, and three metal.
+
+For 1913 the sum of £20,000 is to be expended for purchase of aeroplanes
+and the establishment of aerial squadrons at Antwerp, Liege, and
+Brasschaet.
+
+These are organised into six squadrons of four units each. The full
+complement of each squadron is eight aviators, fifteen to 20 mechanics,
+etc., and six citizen soldiers.
+
+The question of hydro-avions for the Congo is under consideration.

+BEHUEGHE (Bron), in Herseun. Built in 1912. A monoplane that flew very
+well at camp of Casteau Aerodrome during May--October. ~Motor.~--25.
+h.p. type Morane. New designs in wing construction, landing chassis,
+etc.
+
+
+A. BRACKE (formerly Bracke, Missyon & Co.), Casteau, Mons. In 1910,
+constructed the first aeroplane built by a Belgium firm--a monoplane
+with planes at 120. This machine has not been duplicated: but the firm
+have since built machines to private specifications. The only firm which
+has in Belgium the speciality of aeronautical patents.
+
+
+DE BROUCKERE, 23 rue Joardens, Brussels. Biplane. H. Farman. type. Built
+in 1911, modified in 1912.
+
+
+DE LA HAULT Adhémar de la Hault, 214 rue Royale, Brussels. In 1906,
+built a flapper of novel design. This was followed in 1910, by a machine
+on monoplane lines with one fixed plane and two flapping wings. This
+failed to fly, and in August, 1911, was altered into a biplane. It did
+not succeed, however. M. Hault is still pursuing the ornithopter
+question.
+
+
+HAREL I. Biplane. ~Length.~--49-1/4 feet (15 m.) ~Surface.~--344-1/2 sq.
+feet (32 m².) ~Weight.~--771 lbs. (350 kgs.), flying order. Warping
+wings. Monoplane tail. ~Motor.~--50 h.p. Gnome, mounted just under and
+forward of the upper wing. ~Tractor.~--1 Chauviere. Elevator placed 1 in
+front and 1 in rear, _H. Farman_ style. Rudders, 2 in rear. Completed
+May, 1911. For further details see _Conquete de l'Air_, July 1st, 1911.
+Property of M. Van der Stegen.

+~Propellers.~--3, namely: one at the fore end, driven by the two motors
+when coupled together, and two placed above and on either side of the
+centre of the car, for use when only one motor is running. Chauvière

+~Steering.~--Vertical steering by means of a large double aeroplane
+fixed above the car, about a third from the front. Horizontal steering
+by means of a double vertical rudder above the rear end of the car.
+Stability is secured by the usual Astra pear shaped stabilising gas
+bags, with fins of rubbered cloth spread between the inner edges of
+these shapes.
+
+Remarks.--The distinctive feature of this ship is the arrangement of the
+propellers. Both motors can be coupled either on to the front propeller
+or on to the two rear propellers, or on to all three together, but they
+are actually intended only to drive the front one. On stopping either
+motor the other is connected to the two rear propellers, which are
+designed for a slower speed of translation than the front one, with the
+result that the running motor does not find itself overloaded as it
+would if the same propeller had to serve both for one and for two
+motors.

+ (Four more aeroplane squadrons _pro._)
+
+An aeroplane squadron nominally consists of 18 aeroplanes (9 in service,
+9 remounts). At the end of March, 1913, the total number of aeroplanes,
+including those on order, school machines, etc., was about 110, of which
+about 50 (including some monoplanes not in use) were effective for war
+purposes or available at short notice.
+
+The total of 110 was thus made up:--
+
+ 22 monoplanes (= 2 Bleriot, 4 Bristol, 5 Deperdussin, 4 Howard-Flanders,
+ 1 Martinsyde, 6 Nieuport).
+
+ 86 biplanes (= 4 Avro, 22 B.E. type,[A] various makers), 2 Breguet,

+
+AIRCRAFT FACTORY. Royal Aircraft Factory, Farnborough, near Aldershot.
+For a long time this establishment had been engaged in dirigible
+construction and repairs. In 1911 it was decided to expand it in
+connection with the Royal Flying Corps. Its precise functions are
+somewhat uncertain. Its nominal main purpose is the repair, etc., of
+Service Aircraft. During 1912, however, it turned out several machines
+to a design of its own, known as the _"B.E."_ This design was at one
+time regarded as confidential; but subsequently duplicates were built by
+private contractors, and the design illustrated below, published by the
+Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.

+AERO'S Ltd. St. James' Street, Norwich Union Buildings, Piccadilly,
+London, S.W. Established 1912 for the sale of all parts and accessories;
+also for the sale of second hand aeroplanes and motors of all makes.
+Does not construct at present.
+
+
+AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING Co., Ltd. 47, Victoria Street, London, S.W.
+Works: Hendon, London, N.W. This company established in 1912, holds all
+the British rights for the _H. & M. Farman_ types. It constructs in
+England all _Farman_ types at its own works. (See _Farman_, French).
+
+
+AVRO. Aeroplanes. A. V. Roe & Co., Clifton Street, Miles Platting,
+Manchester; also Shoreham, Sussex. A. V. Roe designed his first machine,
+a biplane, in 1906. It was the first British machine to leave the
+ground. He then experimented with triplanes in Lea Marshes, where he
+managed to fly with only 9 h.p. in 1908-9. In August, 1910, built _Roe
+III_, and in September, _Roe IV_, also triplanes (see 1911 edition for
+full details). In 1911 he abandoned triplanes for the _Avro_ biplane.
+School: Shoreham.

+Remarks.--Of the above, 4 of the 50 Gnome E type were purchased by the
+British Royal Flying Corps, and one by the Portuguese Government; the
+other went to Windermere on January, 1913, for hydro experiments.
+Climbing speed of this type is 440 feet per min. (134 m.) Dual control

+BLACKBURN Aeroplanes. Blackburn Aeroplane Co., Balm Road, Leeds.
+Blackburn produced his first machine early in 1910 (see 1911 edition for
+details). In the latter part of that year he designed the machine which
+ultimately developed into the _Blackburn_ military. In 1911 other types
+were produced, all being fitted with the patent Blackburn triple
+control. School at Filey Hucks has been the principal _Blackburn_ flyer.
+The type has also been very successfully flown by naval officers.
+Capacity of works: about 24 a year.

+to admit of rapid displacement. Clear observation provided for.
+
+~Fuselage.~--The fuselage is ~V~ shaped and constructed of weldless
+steel tubing in the form of a lattice girder. The main longitudinals are
+of round section; cross members, oval section. Connections are not
+welded but made with strong steel clips so that should any member become
+damaged a new one can be readily arranged. The front portion is covered
+with sheet metal giving additional strength and reducing the head
+resistance. Stream line form tapering towards the rear which is covered
+with fabric.
+
+~Chassis.~--Two long skids connected up to fuselage by metal struts.
+Each skid borne by a pair of wheels, axle held down by elastic shock
+absorbers. On the axle of the wheels are fitted steel springs which take
+side thrust. Each pair of wheels held by radius rods forming a bogie.
+
+~Control.~--Patent Blackburn triple, independent or simultaneous on hand
+wheel, but special foot control for rudder is fitted if desired.
+
+In 1912, five machines were built, of which two were of the mil. model.
+Others, non-military models (see last edition.)

+CODY. Cody flying school, Farnborough. Cody commenced experiments with
+kites in very early days on behalf of the British Admiralty.
+Subsequently built the first British Army dirigible, and an experimental
+Army aeroplane. In 1909, his direct connection with the Army ceased. A
+_Cody I_ was built in 1908. A _Cody II_ was completed June 1910. The
+_special features_ of both were: very strong construction, great size
+(_II_ had area of 857 sq. feet), ailerons. Later types, except that
+warping is substituted for ailerons, do not differ very materially
+except in minor details. All wood construction.

+Remarks.--The 1911 is the famous _Cody_, which, as a 60 h.p., won both
+Michelin 1911 prizes, and completed the _Daily Mail_ circuit. As a 100
+h.p. it won the 1912 Michelin cross-country. By the end of 1912 it is
+said to have flown a total of 7000 miles. The 1913 is practically a
+duplicate with a more powerful engine. _Special features_ of the
+biplanes, maximum camber to lower plane. Both planes equal span. Very
+strong landing gear. Propeller chain driven: 1-3/4 to 1 gearing. In
+February, 1913, four biplanes were ordered for the British Army.
+
+Cody lists a mono. for 1913 a trifle longer than the above; also five
+variations on the biplane of from 35 to 160 h.p., which can be built if
+required.

+DUNNE. The Blair Atholl Aeroplane Syndicate, Ltd., 1, Queen Victoria
+Street, London, E.C. School: Eastchurch. In 1906 Lieut. Dunne was
+employed by the British Army authorities for secret aeroplane
+experiments. He had at that time patented a monoplane of < type. In 1907
+_Dunne I_ was tried on the Duke of Atholl's estate in Scotland, but
+failed to fly, being smashed on the starting apparatus. _Dunne III_, a
+glider, 1908, was experimented with successfully by Lieut. Gibbs. In the
+same year _Dunne IV_, a larger power driven edition made hops of 50
+yards or so. Early in 1910 the War Office abandoned the experiments.
+_Dunne II_, a triplane of 1906 design, was, by consent of the War
+Office, assigned to Prof. Huntingdon, who made one or two short flights
+with it at Eastchurch in 1910. At the same time the above syndicate was
+formed, and _Dunne V_, built by Short Bros., was completed in June,
+1910. In 1912-13 the Huntingdon, modified, was flying well.

+the well-known aviator, who in 1909 commenced operations with a school
+at Pau. Later this was removed to England, and a general agency for the
+sale of aeroplanes, etc., established. This developed, and early in 1911
+the firm was handling a special British agency for the U.S. _Burgess_
+type known as "The Baby." The Hendon Aerodrome was acquired, and a
+factory established, which has grown continually ever since. In April,
+1912, a monoplane to special design was completed. By the close of the
+same year biplanes of advanced design were constructed. Capacity of the
+works, March, 1913, was equal to 150 machines a year if necessary.

+HANDLEY-PAGE Monoplanes. Handley Page, 72, Victoria Street, S.W. Works:
+110, Cricklewood Lane, N.W. Flying ground: Hendon. Established at the
+end of 1908. In June, 1909, it was turned into a Limited Liability Co.
+Since then it has been busily employed in producing its own machines,
+also others to inventor's specifications. About the end of 1911 the firm
+bought up and sold all the machines of the Aeronautical
+Syndicate--_Valkyrie_ and _Viking_ types. It is doubtful whether any of
+these V type still exist--in any case it does not matter. Four were
+presented to the R. Flying Corps. Of these one was smashed up, the
+others, one army and two navy, were used to teach mechanics to take down
+and re-assemble engines, etc. Handley-Page also bought up the
+_Radley-Moorhouse_ machines (Bleriot copies), and disposed of them.
+
+The 1912-13 _Handley-Page_ type is as follows--a development along
+regular lines of the original H.P. machine:--
+
+[Illustration: Handley-Page V.]
+
+~Length,~ 27-1/2 feet (8.40 m.) ~span,~ 42-1/2 feet (12.95 m.) ~area,~
+240 sq. feet. (22-1/4 m².)
+
+~Weight.~--Total, 1300 lbs. (590 kgs.) Empty, 800 lbs. (363 kgs.)
+
+~Motor.~--50 h.p. Gnome. ~Speed.~ 55 m.p.h. (90 km.)
+
+Remarks.--The fixed tail area is 32 sq. feet. Body is entirely enclosed,
+stream line form. The passenger sits behind the pilot. Mounted on wheels
+and one long skid forward. Full description and details, _Flight_, 26th
+October, 1912.
+
+Principal pilots have been the late E. Petre (who made in it the only
+flight through London), the late Lieut. Parke, R.N., S. Pickles, and L.
+R. Whitehouse. The machine has been flown with two passengers, in
+addition to the pilot.
+
+~Military work.~--During 1912 five biplanes of the _B.E._ type were
+ordered by the British War Office. Several monoplanes were ordered by
+foreign governments.

+~Military Aviation.~
+
+In January, 1913, the Australian Flying Corps was instituted, as a part

+
+The force is to consist ultimately of 4 officers, 7 warrant officers and
+sergeants, 32 mechanics.
+
+The school is at Duntroon. Course includes--mechanics of the aeroplane,
+aerial motors, meteorology, aerial navigation by compass, aerial
+photography, signalling, etc. Mr. Harrison is in command with Lieut. H.
+Petre as assistant.

+
+~Military Aviation.~--A certain number of officers belonging to the
+Indian Army have qualified as pilots when home on leave, but there is no

+
+
+In the Balkan War, 1912-13, Bulgaria hastily organised an aviation

+
+At the end of March, 1913, the aeroplanes effective included 6 _Bristol_
+monos.; one 70 h.p. _Bleriot XXI_; 2 _Bleriot XI bis_ (captured from the
+Turks); also some half-dozen or more miscellaneous machines temporarily
+hired.

+~Military Aviators.~--The principal are Lieuts. Milkoff, Taraxchieff and
+Petroff.
+
+A number of other officers in various stages of training.

+FRENCH AEROPLANES.
+
+
+~Military Aviation.~
+
+In February, 1912, the then total of 208 effective aeroplanes were
+divided into "squadrillas" consisting of eight aeroplanes; attached to
+these eleven or twelve motor cars, one traction car and one fast car,
+also a repairing car and repairing van.
+
+It was then estimated that at the end of 1912, ~344~ aeroplanes would be
+available for service.
+
+The estimated _personnel_ was provisionally fixed at 234 officer pilots,
+210 scouts, 42 mechanics, 110 officers, 1,600 corporals or sappers and
+550 privates.
+
+Approximately £880,000 was spent in aviation during 1912, and £1,000,000
+was estimated for future years.
+
+The French military aviation centres are all upon somewhat the same
+footing as fortresses, and the greater part of the work comes under the
+head of "confidential." The principal school is at St. Cyr, which was
+specially selected because the ground is rough and mostly covered with
+small shrubs: it being held important to train officers from the first
+to rise and land on ground similar to that most likely to be found in
+war time. Each station is supplied with large portable wooden-framed
+hangars covered with canvas. These can be rapidly taken to pieces and
+re-erected. Each station is supplied with its own special motor
+transport.
+
+All military machines are provided with a compass and map case in front
+of the pilot and sketching apparatus in front of the observer.
+
+Although a few non-commissioned officers have been taught flying, the
+organization only contemplates the employment of commissioned officers
+as pilots. The age limit is 38.
+
+On April 16th, 1913, the flying corps was modified. The principal
+features of the corps as now existing are as follows:--
+
+
+~Establishments.~
+
+1. Schools.
+
+2. Special establishments, dealing with purchase, construction, and big
+repairs.
+
+3. _Directions._ Administration of _material_.
+
+4. Depots. A species of dockyards dealing with minor repairs, etc.
+
+
+~Administration.~
+
+There are three main groups, each commanded by a colonel. Each group
+consists of dirigibles and aeroplane "escadrilles," and is fully
+equipped with establishments, etc. The three centres are:--
+
+1. Versailles.
+
+2. Reims.
+
+3. Lyon.
+
+
+~General.~
+
+All squadron units are made up of machines of the same make and power.
+Pilots are detailed as required to any particular unit, and liable to
+transfer from one to another, though in practice such transfers are
+rare.
+
+
+~Army Aeroplanes.~
+
+During 1912 nearly 500 machines were delivered to the Army, but a great
+many old machines have been scrapped. At the end of March, 1913, the
+force stood at 421 effective for war machines, plus an uncertain number
+of school machines and obsoletes.
+
+About one-third or more of the effective aeroplanes were _Farmans_. The
+rest consisted of all leading French types, proportionated more or less
+to the productive capacity of these firms. Also certain other makes
+experimental.
+
+
+~Navy Aviation.~
+
+The Navy section of French military aviation is still in the "being
+formed" process. No data are yet available as to the ultimate force to
+be provided. At present the number of effective war machines is small.
+It is made up of hydro-avions of the following types:--_Astra_, _Borel_,
+_Breguet_, _Caudron_, _Deperdussin_, _Donnet-Leveque_, _Farman_,
+_Paulhan-Curtiss_, _Sanchez-Besa_, the total at end of March, 1913,
+being well under 20. There are also two special _Bleriot_ type fitted
+with floats, which carry 330 lbs of explosive, are fitted with wireless,
+have a speed of 140 km.p.h. (85 m.p.h.), and a radius of about 600 miles
+(1,000 km.)

+
+~Special types of Bleriots.~--In addition to the standard machines,
+Bleriot from time to time produces special machines, of which the best
+known is the _Limousine_, built for M. Deutsch de la Meurthe, built 1911
+and still existing. One or two Canards have also been built, including
+an armoured military.
+
+[Illustration: BLERIOT-LIMOUSINE. UAS.]

+
+Note.--The monocoque is of wood and steel construction, the others wood
+only. The monocoque has coque body, the others ordinary rectangular
+section. Floats of the hydro as illustrated. For the rest the ordinary
+mono. is practically on the same lines as the 1912. The racer is
+somewhat on _Deperdussin_ lines, but the body is built up inside. No
+fixed tail. The hydro. is an enlarged edition of the mono. Floats
+display nothing very original, except that a float under tail is
+interconnected with the rudder, and that the two front floats are fitted
+for being rowed. Fitted with a self-starter.

+
+_In each case._--
+
+~Construction.~--All steel.
+
+~Landing chassis.~--C consists of three wheels each protected by skids.
+The two main wheels, placed on either side of the centre of gravity, are
+fitted with patent "Oleopneumatic" shock absorbers. The steering wheel
+and the front skid have a spring suspension.
+
+~Military machines.~--The 1912 sales of these were:--32 to France; 5
+British; 3 Italian; 1 Swedish.
+
+~Steering.~--The patented control system consists of a wheel mounted on
+a pivoted lever. The backward and forward movement of the entire system
+operates the elevator: the sideway movement warps the rear edge of the
+upper wings, and the rotation of the wheel steers the machine. The
+latter operation also governs the front wheel of the landing chassis, so
+that when on the ground the machine can be steered like a motor car.
+
+~Portability.~--The main planes can be folded alongside of the fuselage.
+The machine can then be towed on any ordinary road, or be housed in
+places such as farm buildings, stables, &c.

+Remarks.--The whole of the above can easily be converted into
+hydro-avions--two long narrow floats without steps. _H. Farmans_ are of
+wood and steel construction; _M. Farman_, wood. In all 1913 biplanes the
+ailerons are inter-connected. All 1913 machines designed to carry one or
+in some cases two mitrailleuse, and special attention is paid to
+facility for taking down for transport and re-assembling. The 1911-12
+_H. Farmans_ had elevators forward, were a good deal longer, and had
+more surface than 1913 models. Ailerons not inter-connected. The _M.
+Farmans_ generally as now, except that all planes, etc., had rounded
+edges. On September 11th, 1912, Foury, in an _M. Farman_ military, made
+world's endurance record to date, 13 hrs. 22 min., covering 631 miles
+(1,017 km.) All models of this type, also the "big military," are fitted
+with the Doutre stabiliser. Fabric: "Aviator" Ramie.
+
+~Latest Hydro.~--In March, 1913, a new hydro was produced
+experimentally. There is a boat body, without steps, carrying the motor
+which is chain connected with the propeller. Machine is fitted with
+wheels and skids as well.

+Founded by the well-known aviator, L. Paulhan. He first produced
+biplanes, then triplanes and finally a monoplane type, the
+_Tatin-Paulhan_ (1911). These are now all abandoned, and the firm
+devotes itself to building hydro-aeroplanes under Curtiss (U.S.A.)
+license. Principal type built are:--

+
+
+The general features of the _Astra_ class are: Non-rigid, weights
+distributed by means of a long girder hung under the gas bags, a long
+nacelle, and inflated stabilising shapes at the rear end of the balloon.
+
+The _Astra-Torres_ type are also non-rigid, but of trefoil section with
+a short nacelle.
+
+The Compagnie Generale Transaerienne was first established in 1909 with
+_Transaerienne I_, and during the summers 1909, 1910 and 1911, this ship
+made a total of 273 ascents, carried 2590 passengers, and voyaged 7990
+kilometres.
+
+The Astra firm has dirigible hangers at Issy, Pau, Meaux, and Reims. Its
+constructional capacity is sufficient to build six dirigibles at any one
+time.

+~Gasbags.~--Continental rubbered fabric. Weight, 380 grammes per m².
+Strength 1,000 kg. per metre. Leakage under 10 litres per m² per 24

+either side of the motor space.
+
+~Speed.~--35 m.p.h. (56 km.)
+
+~Propellers.~--2 Chauvière. Diameter, 19-3/4 feet (6 m.) Placed one on
+either side of the motors, well above the level.
+
+~Steering.~--Vertical steering by means of a treble horizontal rudder
+over the rear end of the car. Horizontal steering by means of 2 vertical
+rudders placed one on each side of the rear horizontal rudder.
+
+Remarks.--The feature of this _C.B._ type, which distinguishes it from
+the Astra ships of about the same size, is the arrangement of the
+propellers and the use of a 2 speed gear in connection with these.
+Normally each motor drives its own propeller through two sets of gearing
+connected by a Cardan shaft. On stopping one motor, the stopped motor is
+unclutched from its propeller shaft, which is then connected up by chain
+drive to the opposite shaft. The running motor is then put on to a "low
+gear," so that it can make the revolutions necessary for obtaining full
+power, while the propellers run slower than before. The ratio of "low
+gear" to "high" is 2 to 1, so that a single motor will be running under
+its best conditions when well throttled down.

+
+~DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS:~
+
+The cars are short and suspended from a long keel which is suspended
+close up to the gas bag, and is mostly covered in with fireproof canvas.
+
+The rear end of the keel is expanded into fixed vertical and horizontal
+fins, and carries a vertical and a horizontal rudder.
+
+The rear end of the gas bag is fitted with thin fixed planes (compare
+with the pear shaped or tubular fins of the "Astra" class).
+
+The cars are provided underneath with an extraordinarily strong conical
+structure, which takes the shock of striking the ground and distributes
+it over the whole car.
+
+Aeroplanes are now fitted, one each side of the keel, well forward.

+=ZODIAC CLASS.=
+
+Société française de ballons dirigeables et d'aviation, Zodiac, 10 route
+du Havre, Puteaux (Seine).
+
+These dirigibles were intended primarily for private pleasure purposes.
+Consequently they are designed to fly when filled with coal gas if
+necessary.
+
+Every effort is made to render them easily transportable; the long
+girder frame by which the weight is distributed is made to take to
+pieces.
+
+It is held in France that numbers of this class of vessel would form an
+invaluable asset in time of war, as each could be transported in a
+single cart, filled with a very few bottles of hydrogen, and when so
+filled could man[oe]uvre for some 6 hours at a speed which compares
+favourably with that of the standard types.
+
+When the service of reconnaissance was performed, the vessel could be
+packed up and sent out of harm's way in an hour, whereas this could
+scarcely be done with a larger vessel on account of the quantity of
+hydrogen that would be required if it had to be filled afresh for each
+service. The mooring of an airship in the open during war requires such
+an amount of preparation and attention as to be a serious drawback to
+the alternative plan of keeping such vessels unfilled, while the sending
+of an airship back to its distant shed on each occasion means doubling
+the work that the ship is called upon to perform.

+=GERMAN MILITARY CLASS--GROSS-BASENACH. (Semi-rigid)=
+
+Up to date, these vessels have been designed by Major Gross and
+Oberingenieur Basenach.
+
+The utmost secrecy is observed as to their details.
+
+The system of employing 2 ballonets has been borrowed from the
+_Parseval_ type, and presumably the _Parseval_ system of working the
+automatic valves has also been adopted.
+
+In all other features, these ships appear to resemble the French
+_Lebaudy_ type, the shape of the hulls being rather better.
+
+
+List of ships built, re-built and re-building of this type:--

+=PARSEVAL CLASS (Non-rigid).=
+
+Luftfahrzeug-Gesellschaft m.b.H, Berlin, W. 62.
+
+When the "Motorluftschiff Studien Gesellschaft" was formed at the
+instigation of the German Emperor, a committee was formed to acquire an
+experimental airship of the most promising type. Major Von Parseval's
+first airship was selected, and since that time the above company has
+confined itself to improving this type, and to making exhaustive and
+costly researches, all of which have been embodied in successive ships.
+
+The characteristic feature of every one of these craft is its unequalled
+portability. Almost all other so-called Non-rigid vessels distribute the
+load by means of a long girder which also serves as a car. This girder
+is awkward to pack up and transport. Parseval uses a comparatively small
+car, and distributes the weight by hanging it further below the balloon
+than usual, and also by using 2 ballonets which are placed one near each
+end of the gas bag.
+
+These 2 ballonets enable the ship to be trimmed by merely pumping air
+into either at the expense of the other.
+
+Another essential feature of the type is the system by which the valves
+are worked automatically. At the present time there is no other system
+of valve working so reliable as this.
+
+A third essential feature of the class is the use of a swinging car, in
+such a manner that pitching, due to alterations of propeller thrust, is
+automatically checked by an alteration of the position of the centre of
+gravity.
+
+A fourth feature is the use of limp propeller blades. A propeller of
+this type is very easily packed up.
+
+The shape of these vessels is in accordance with the experiments of
+Professor Prandtl.
+
+Ships of this class built or building (figures supplied by the Parseval Co.):--

+
+
+PARSEVAL (P.L. 1). (1908.) (Belongs to the Kaiserl. Aero Club.)
+(Parseval class.)
+
+[Illustration]
+
+~Length,~ 197 feet (60 m.) ~max. diam.~ 31 feet (9.4 m) ~capacity,~
+113,000 c. feet (3,200m³) ~lifting power,~ 7,800 lbs. (3,583 kgs.)
+
+~Gas bag.~--Cylindrical, with semi-conical front. Of rubber-proofed
+material in longitudinal strips. Pressure in ballonets and gas bag, 30
+mm. of water.
+
+~Motor.~--One 85 h.p. Daimler.
+
+~Fuel.~--700 lbs. (325 kg.) 88 gallons (400 litres)
+
+~Speed.~--20 m.p.h. (32 k.p.h.)
+
+~Propeller.~--One 4-bladed. Semi-rigid Parseval.
+
+This vessel was somewhat altered on being bought by the Society. Her
+essential principle is that she can be taken to pieces in a few minutes,
+and carried in a truck. Her main feature is that she has a ballonet at
+each end. This is described in the case of type A (_P.L. 2_). This class
+rise with the forward ballonet empty, and inclined up by the bow. The
+propeller is similar to that of _P.L. 2_. The car also is mounted on
+wire runners. She was originally 4,000 m³. capacity. Built 1908.
+Station: Bitterfeld. The car is at present in Deutsches Museum, Munich.
+
+
+PARSEVAL P.L. 2 = P. I. Military. (1908.)
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Built by the "Society for the Study of Motor Air Ships," and taken over
+by the German War Office.
+
+~Length,~ 197 feet (60 m.) ~maximum diameter,~ 34 feet (10.40 m.)
+~capacity,~ 111,270 cubic feet (4,000 cubic m.) ~lifting power,~ 9,200
+lbs. (4,180 kgs.)
+
+~Gas bag.~--Front end semi-ellipsoidal with semi-axes 15.4 feet (4.7 m.)
+and 11.8 feet (3.6 m.), from which it increases to its maximum diameter.
+This is maintained for about two-thirds of its length, when it begins to
+taper to a point at the stern. Made of 2 layers of transverse strips of
+rubber proofed material, crossing each other diagonally. Fitted with a
+tearing strip.
+
+~Ballonets.~--One at each end, together amounting to about one-quarter
+of the total capacity. Owing to this disposition, the trim can be
+altered, and steering effected in the vertical plane by filling either
+more than the other. Pressure in the ballonets and gas bag, 20 mm. of
+water pressure.
+
+~Motor.~--4-cylinder 85 h.p. Daimler placed at one side of the car to
+give more room. 1,000 to 1,200 r.p.m.
+
+~Propellers.~--12-1/3 feet (3.75 m.) diameter, 250 to 300 r.p.m.
+4-bladed, the blades being of peculiar construction. When stopped, the
+fabric of which they are made hangs down limply; when running, these
+flaps fly out under centrifugal force.
+
+~Speed.~--27 miles per hour. 43 kilometers per hour.
+
+~Car.--Length~, 22-1/3 feet (6.8 m.) Width 4.1 feet (1.22 m.) Made of
+nickel steel, U bars, screwed together so as to take the pieces rapidly.
+The sides are lattice girders. The whole is boat shaped and covered with
+canvas. Contains motor, chart table; trail rope 480 feet (146 m.) long,
+weighing 220 lbs. (100 kg.)
+
+Wheel for horizontal steering at the bow.
+
+110 gal. (500 litre) cask of petrol on the girders at the after point.
+
+41 feet (12-1/2 m.) below the gas bag. It is capable of swinging
+horizontally on wires running over rollers.
+
+Whereas without this device a forward swing of the car would lift the
+nose to a possibly dangerous extent, the free motion of the car shifts
+the centre of the gravity forward and so preserves stability.
+
+~Steering.~--In vertical plane, by altering the trim. In horizontal
+plane, by a rudder of 80.7 sq. feet (7-1/2 m²) immediately behind the
+vertical plane. Two fixed horizontal planes are placed at the rear end
+of the gas bag above the central line.

+
+Note.--This remarkably successful ship has performed a continuous flight
+of 11-1/2 hours. She also remained at a height of 4,800 feet (1,500 m.)
+for 1 hour. She can be transported in 1 railway truck or 2 pair horse
+wagons, and be assembled and filled ready for ascent within 3 hours of
+arrival by train.

+
+~Gas bags.~--These are of great strength and of unusual shapes, made to
+fit the interior, which is encumbered with cross stays. All but two of
+the bags are always full, and when the gas expands it flows into the
+remaining two, which are nearly empty at sea level, and full at 6500
+feet (2,000 m.) A centrifugal pump is used for distributing the gas.
+There are 14 gas bags.
+
+~Motors.~--2 Maybach of 270 h.p. each. The propellers are at the ends of
+the car, driven through 1 set of reduction gear. ~Speed.~--38-43 m.p.h.
+About 59-64 k.p.h.
+
+~Propellers.~--2 aft. Also 1 with its axis vertical.
+
+~Steering.~--Vertical and horizontal rudders at both ends of the ship.
+Also see Propellers.
+
+Remarks.--Two of these ships were under construction, and one was to be
+presented and one sold to the German government. The hull is built of
+special 3-ply wood made of Russian white fir; this wood is pressed into
+channel bars, angle bars, and all other requisite shapes. The strength
+of the hull is such that it can be supported at the ends without damage;
+its lightness is such that although the ship is nearly half as large
+again as _Zeppelin II_, yet the hull weighs about 3 tons less. Designed
+by Prof. Schütte.
+
+In 1910, structural defects were found in _Schütte I_ when the loads
+were applied. This has necessitated extensive alterations and much
+delay. In 1911 it was completed, and sold for £25,000 to the German
+Army.

+~ITALIAN MILITARY AVIATION.~
+
+~ORGANISATION, etc.~
+
+The _Battaglione Aviatori_ has its headquarters at Turin. In July, 1912,
+it was re-organised along the following lines:--
+
+ 1 command at Turin.
+ 1 flying work.
+ 1 technical work.
+ 2 troop duty.
+ 6 at the aviation schools, with a certain number of mobile squadrillos.
+
+The recognised grades are:--
+
+ _a.a.p._ aspirante allievo (learners).
+ _a.p._ allievo pilota (certificated pilots).
+ _p._ pilota militare (superior military brevet).
+
+In flying work the superior pilots are mostly using _Bleriots_; the
+ordinary pilots _Bleriot-Caproni_, _Bristol_, _Antonis_, _Deperdussins_
+and _Voisins_.
+
+The technical section chiefly supervises the theoretical instruction of
+the _a.a.p._
+
+The 2 companies on troop duty practical work, preparation for the
+schools.
+
+
+~FLYING SCHOOLS.~
+
+The military schools are:--
+
+ ~Aviano.~--Central school. Size about 5×2 kilometres. Sheltered
+ from all winds except westerly, by banks of trees. Numerous
+ hangers.
+
+ ~Mirafiori (Turin).~--Mixed military and civil school. Hangers.
+ School machines confined to _Asteria_, _Bleriot_, _Nieuport_ and
+ _Savary_ types.
+
+ ~Pordenone.~--School for superior brevets. Treeless plain.
+ Principal school machines _Breguets_ and _Farmans_; but some
+ _Bleriots_ and _Caproni_.
+
+ ~S. Francesco al Campo.~--_M. Farman_ machines. At present for
+ officers trained in France.
+
+ ~Somma Lombarda.~--Camp school for _Nieuports_.
+
+ ~Venaria Reale.~--Formed late in 1912. _Bristol_ monos for
+ certificated pilots.
+
+
+~GENERAL TRAINING.~
+
+50 officers in training during the first quarter of 1913.
+
+Aspirants commence with instruction in the theory of heavier than air
+machines, resistance of material and particular instruction in the
+various type of aero motors in use. They are taken for flights as
+passengers.
+
+All then go to the training camp about 80% for monoplane work, the
+remainder for biplanes.
+
+Monoplanes. Special attention paid to teaching _Gauchis Dessent_.
+
+Biplanes. Much shorter course. Principal feature: _Vol Plané_.
+
+For the _military brevet_ the examination is most comprehensive, special
+attention is paid to flying in wind, manoeuvring, climbing, good
+landings without inconvenience to passengers, cross country flights,
+etc. The course is generally modelled on war experiences.
+
+
+~TOTAL FLYING STRENGTH.~
+
+No particular distinction between naval and military aviators.
+
+Total by end of June, 1913, to be about 225 certificated aviators of
+whom a fair percentage hold the superior brevet. In addition all the
+best civilian aviators are held at disposal.
+
+
+~Military Aeroplanes.~
+
+At the end of 1911 there were about 20 machines, mostly _Bleriots_ and
+_Farmans_. The majority of these are still in use for school purposes.
+
+At the end of March, 1913, the machines effective for war purposes were
+roughly as follows:--
+
+ _Bleriot._ }
+ _Bristol_ (mono.) }
+ _Caproni._ }
+ _Deperdussin._ } Total _about_ 50, plus a number
+ _Farman._ } of school machines.
+ _Hanriot._ }
+ _Nieuport._ }
+ _Savary._ }
+
+About 40 machines were on order, including 12 _Bristol-Capronies_.
+
+
+~Naval Aeroplanes.~
+
+Effective at end of March, 1913.
+
+ 1 _Calderara_.
+ 1 _Guidoni-Farman_.
+ 4 or 5 others.

+Notes: All the above are semi-rigid. The _P_ and _M_ are all of the same
+general type. Principal features of these ships, which were designed by
+Captains Crocci and Ricaldoni, are the shape of the envelope, (maximum
+diameter very far forward), keel and the box kite tail. The _Citta di
+Milano_ (semi-rigid) is an enlarged _Leonardo da Vinci_ (which see).
+_Special feature_ is the keel built into the envelope. This serves as a
+nacelle.

+
+
+~Navy.~
+
+The naval section is superintended by Capt. K. Yamaji, I.J.N.
+
+The naval headquarters are at Oihama (near Yokosuka).
+
+The naval force at the end of 1912 consisted of 4 hydro-aeroplanes (2
+_Curtiss_ and 2 _Farman_). The available total of qualified naval
+aviators was 5.
+
+
+~Finance.~
+
+The total amount granted for aviation of the navy in 1912 (fiscal year)
+was 100,000 yen (£10,000).
+
+For the year 1913 the estimates amount was 100,000 yen (but not approved
+yet).
+
+
+~Pay of Flying Officers.~
+
+The special pay for officers employed in aerial work is undecided.

+
+In 1911 the _Gouveia_ mono. was built, span 9 metres, but it failed to

+VLAICLU Monoplane. Designed by Ouvret Vlaiclu. First shewn at the Vienna
+Exhibition, 1911. Modified; it flew very well indeed at Aspern, June,
+1912. The 1912 model is of entirely novel type, a tail first monoplane
+with a propeller either end of the main planes, and a triangular tail
+aft. Principal details are:--~Length~, 34-2/3 feet (10.50 m.) ~Span~, 30
+feet (9.15 m.) ~Height~, 12 feet (3.65 m.) Wing frame in three sections
+with gap between. ~Motor~, 50 h.p., Gnome chain driven. ~Fuselage~, old
+style; landing chassis on three wheels only, with a single ash skid in
+front. Covered in engine driving the 31 foot propeller shaft for the 2
+propellers. Rear tail consists of 2 fixed planes, a triangular damping
+plane and a triangular keel plane. Forward, an elevator and two
+semi-circular rudders (double faced). From this combination remarkable
+results are achieved, and all gyrostatic effect from the propellers
+eliminated. _Control_, horizontal wheel on column. Elevator depressed or
+otherwise by action on column. Note.--At Vienna, 1912, this machine took
+first prize for the smallest circle and also for accurate bomb-dropping.
+The original machine was purchased by the Roumanian Army.

+~General Note.~--In the number of military machines and general

+firms build at home under foreign license, and there is also the Kennedy
+school (Anglo-Russian).

+~Army Aviation.~
+
+Early in 1912, under the presidency of the Grand Duke Alexander, the
+special school of the Volunteer Aerial Association was finally formed at
+Sevastopol for the winter and Gatchina for the summer.
+
+ June 1912. Vote for 150 aeroplanes (140 to be built at home). Vote
+ 1,050,000 roubles for new school at Tauride.
+
+ November, 1912. Military trials results. (1) Sikorsky in a _Sikorsky_.
+ (2) Haber in a _M. Farman_. (3) Boutmy in a _Nieuport_.
+
+ December, 1912. Aeronautical school re-organised. Put under control of
+ one commandant, one assistant, and four juniors. Course made seven
+ months--15 pupils per school at a time. A one month course in
+ aeroplanes, aerial motors, etc. Of the pupils, 10 will be selected
+ for aeroplanes. New flying school established at Taskend in
+ Turkestan.
+
+ March, 1913. New schools established at Moscow, Odessa and Omsk.
+
+At the end of 1911 the total number of military aeroplanes was about
+100. At the end of March, 1913, the total number was about 250, of which
+about 150 were modern. Principal types: _Albatross_, _Aviatik_,
+_Bristol_, _Deperdussin_, _Farman_, _Nieuport_, _Rumpler_, there being
+an average of 20 of each. The majority built under Russian license in
+Russia. The number of actual military pilots was 72. There is, however,
+a special volunteer corps of about 36 private aviators, bringing the
+available total to 108 or thereabouts.
+
+
+~Navy Aviation.~
+
+ July, 1912. Lieut. Andreadi, 50 h.p. _Nieuport_, did a flight with
+ stops from Sevastopol to St. Petersburg.
+
+ September, 1912. Special naval aerodrome for hydro-avions ordered for
+ Golodai Island, near Petersburg, bringing total of military and
+ naval aerodromes to 6. _Sikorsky_ hydro-avion acquired. Also an
+ _M. Farman_ ditto. New naval station projected at Libau.
+
+ October, 1912. Naval purchase of several _Curtiss_ hydro-avions after
+ trials at Sevastopol.
+
+At the end of March, 1913, the approximate effective force was as
+follows (all hydros, or capable of being so fitted): 1 _Astra_, 1
+_Breguet_, 2 _Donnet-Leveque_, 1 _Farman_, 4 _Paulhan Curtiss_, 2
+_Nieuport_ (50 h.p.), 1 _Sikorsky_. (A number of others on order.)
+
+Early in 1913 experiments were carried out with a combination of floats
+and skids, invented by M. Lobanoff, of Moscow. This proved equally
+effective on land or water.

+~Army Aeroplanes.~
+
+There is a military aerodrome at S. Stefano, with Amerigo, Renzel and
+Thanlau as instructors.
+
+In March, 1913, there were about 12 monoplanes (_Harlans & Reps_), and
+one or two biplanes. Only one seems actually to have been used. Several
+other aeroplanes were captured during the war--generally in their
+packing cases unopened. In April, 50 machines were reported ordered in

+
+
+~General Note.~--In the early nineties, Professor Langley and the Bros.
+Wright were experimenting with heavier-than-air machines, but general
+interest in the subject is quite recent. Though some small dirigibles
+exist, American attention is mainly devoted to aeroplanes. Ballooning
+was quite the thing in 1907-11, but has languished.
+
+It is stated that there are certainly no less than _two thousand_ people
+in the U. S. A. who have built flying machines. The greater percentage
+of these have been home-made copies of standard machines. Individual
+builders of copies and freaks have diminished greatly in numbers, and
+there remains a few well-established manufacturers.
+
+Although inventors are still prolific in the Patent Office and clubs
+numerous, the general public takes very slight intelligent interest in
+aviation. The majority of clubs are inactive.
+
+In the year 1912 commercial development seemed to have great
+possibilities. The copyists were being weeded out and competent
+aeronautical constructors financed by adequate means began operations on
+systematic business lines. The latter half of the year saw a great
+slump. In the spring of 1913 prospects looked greatly improved, and
+there was generally increased activity.

+~U. S. A. AERO CLUBS.~
+
+An attempt has been made here to give the name of every aero club that
+has been formed recently in the United States, or has been in existence
+for a long time. It is believed this list covers every club in the
+United States.
+
+Many of these clubs are nothing but a name. They were formed to conduct
+meets or exhibitions, given by the various aeroplane concerns engaged in
+this business. Many clubs are not incorporated. Others have no
+organisation, being run by principals of boys' schools or classes.
+
+Clubs even affiliated with the Aero Club of America have no members'
+meetings, nor have they in many cases even meeting rooms. There are but
+a half-dozen live aero clubs worthy the name in America. Three clubs own
+balloons, which are rented to members for ascensions. Little attempt is
+made by more than one or two associations to popularise aeronautics, to
+encourage experimenters, or to indulge in scientific work.
+
+The Aero Club of America, the Aeronautical Society and Aero Club of
+Illinois, are the principal organisations. The Ae. C. represents the
+F.A.I., and has a beautiful club house. The Aeronautical Society has
+rooms in the United Engineering Building, conducts well-attended
+lectures twice a month, and has grounds on Straten Island (for
+hydro-aeroplanes and aeroplanes).

+~U. S. ARMY AEROPLANE SPECIFICATIONS. (1912).~
+
+~SPEED SCOUT MILITARY AEROPLANE.~
+
+ (1) Carry one person with the seat located to permit of the largest
+ possible field of observation. (2) Ascend at the rate of 1500 feet
+ in three minutes, while carrying fuel for one hour's flight. (3)
+ Carry fuel for a three hours' flight. (4) Must be easily
+ transportable by road, rail, etc., and easily and rapidly assembled
+ and adjusted. (5) The starting and landing devices must be part of
+ the machine itself, and it must be able to start without outside
+ assistance. (6) The engine must be capable of throttling. (7) The
+ engine will be subject to endurance test in the air of two hours'
+ continuous flight. (8) Speed in the air of at least 65 miles an
+ hour. (9) Capable of landing on and arising from ploughed fields.
+ (10) The supporting surfaces must be of sufficient size to insure
+ safe gliding in case the engine stops. (11) The efficiency and
+ reliability of the system of control must have been demonstrated
+ before the purchase order is placed. The aeroplane must be capable
+ of executing a figure eight within a rectangle 500 yards by 250
+ yards, and without decreasing its altitude more than 100 feet at
+ the completion of the figure eight. This test to be made by aviator
+ alone without carrying extra weight. (12) The extreme width of the
+ aeroplane supporting surfaces must not exceed 40 feet.
+
+
+~SCOUT MILITARY AEROPLANE.~
+
+ (1) The aeroplane must carry two persons with seats located to
+ permit of the largest possible field of observation for both. (2)
+ The control must be capable of use by either operator from either
+ seat. (3) The machine must be able to ascend at least 2000 feet in
+ ten minutes while carrying a weight of 600 lbs. including the
+ aviator and passenger, 150 lbs. of gasoline, and extra weight to
+ make 600 lbs. All of the extra weight must be carried on the engine
+ section and not distributed over the wings. (4) The fuel and oil
+ capacity must be sufficient for at least four hours continuous
+ flight. This will be determined by a trial flight of at least one
+ half-hour, measuring the consumption of gasoline while carrying the
+ passenger and weight stated in paragraph 3. (5) Same as No. 4
+ above. (6) Same as No. 5 above. (7) The engine must be of American
+ manufacture and capable of throttling to run at reduced speed. (8)
+ Same as No. 7 above. This test will be made with aviator and
+ passenger, extra weight and fuel enumerated in paragraphs 3 and 4.
+ (9) The aeroplane must develop a speed in the air of at least forty
+ miles an hour. This test will be made with aviator and passenger,
+ extra weight and fuel enumerated in paragraphs 3 and 4. The maximum
+ speed must not exceed sixty-five miles per hour. (10) Same as No. 9
+ above. This test will be made with aviator, passenger, extra weight
+ and fuel enumerated in paragraphs 3 and 4. (11) Same as No. 10
+ above. (12) Same as No. 11 above. (13) Same as No. 12 above.
+
+In ~1913~ additional requirements specified enclosed body, bullet-proof
+armour, .75 chrome steel, for engine and aviator, provision of necessary
+instruments and wireless, with, as desirable features, silencer and
+cut-out, self-starter and an efficient stabilising device.
+
+At end of March, 1913, the effective Army aeroplanes consisted of three
+50 h.p. _Wrights_, one _Wright-Burgess_, several old machines.
+
+The Navy had two _Wright-Burgess_ hydros and a few nondescripts. A
+_Burgess_ flying boat since added.
+
+
+The estimate for Army effectives at end of the present year (1913) is 21
+(5 _Burgess_, 6 _Curtiss_, 10 _Wright_).

+CURTISS. Curtiss Aeroplane Co., Hammondsport, N.Y. Glenn H. Curtiss in
+1907 and 1908 was a member of the Aerial Experiment Association, formed
+by Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell. This Association built four
+machines, each along the lines of one of the four engineers belong to
+the Association, F. W. Baldwin, Lieut. T. E. Selfridge, G. H. Curtiss
+and J. A. D. McCurdy. The last built was the _June Bug_, designed by
+Curtiss and was the most successful. In the spring of 1908, the
+Association was disbanded and The Aeronautical Society gave Curtiss an
+order for an aeroplane with _carte blanche_ as to design. He produced a
+4 cyl. machine, Curtiss engine, and flew it. A duplicate was hurriedly
+built, 8 cyl. engine installed, and taken to Europe for the first Gordon
+Bennett, which he won. Returning, the same type was continued with minor
+improvements. Later the front elevator was brought closer in, finally
+discarded, and the fan tail adopted and this remains the standard land
+machine to-day. In April, a military tractor was built and flown.
+
+On January 26th, 1911, first successful flights were made with a
+hydroaeroplane, at the Winter camp at San Diego, Calif. This had two
+floats tandem. One was finally adopted and great success was achieved,
+and remains standard at the present time. With this machine various
+experiments were made. It was altered in a tractor for one occasion, it
+was lifted on board warships; made into triplane, etc.
+
+In 1912 he brought out his present type of flying boat. This is being
+rapidly developed and minor changes in details are made in practically
+every machine put out.
+
+In May, 1913, he produced a special 4-passenger flying boat for a
+customer on special order.
+
+Note.--In addition to those tabulated, special small racing machines
+have been built, as well as similar machines with extra sections simply
+added either side for Army use.

+papers. His aim is to fly successfully with the least possible horse
+power. For several years he has been making flights with various engines
+delivering from 5 to 6 h.p. on careful test. The actual thrust has been
+measured and recorded in late 1911 experiments. Details in

+
+While many are merely freak machines, which in the light of present
+knowledge seem ridiculous, the germ of modern practice is to be found in
+many other aircraft illustrated in this cemetery of dead ideals; and it
+is worth noting that at least one constructor, who is one of the first
+in the field to-day, commenced operations with machines which were
+entirely "freaks."

+_Dependability_
+
+In carburettors there is no greater
+essential than dependability, and--
+
+The dependability of the White & Poppe is such as
+ensures a never-failing and invariable efficiency.
+
+That's why it is the favourite with many of the leading Airmen of the day.
+
+Our Booklet describes it fully, and we shall be delighted to send you copy.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
