PREFACE.

s conjectured last year, considerable further changes have been produced in this edition.
As suggested last year, significant further changes have been made 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!
When work on this annual first started about five years ago, military aviators were just a dream. Men fighting in airships were a slim possibility, but nothing more. Every amateur constructing an airplane (or even just planning to build one) in their backyard was a potential "conqueror of the sky." The airplane was expected to replace the car as the go-to sport vehicle—everyone was totally convinced of 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.
Today, everything has changed completely, and aside from being a military tool, the airplane holds little interest or utility for anyone. A few civilian pilots are still flying, but in nearly every case, they are doing so for business purposes. There is no "sport of aviation" like the visionaries predicted just 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.
More and more people are getting their pilot certificates, and these lists are still provided, although the title "aviator" is often just a courtesy since so few continue flying after they’ve earned their licenses.
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.
It’s as a war machine that the aeroplane has truly found its purpose. The Italian planes repeatedly demonstrated their usefulness in Tripoli. Even though aircraft were not as prominent in the Balkan War as many had hoped, this can be attributed to the unique circumstances of the campaign and the lack of available planes.
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.
Every country is currently focused on building its air fleets. It’s still unclear how much the naval and military branches will merge or separate. Right now, the trends suggest they will likely become more distinct, and just like an army includes cavalry, infantry, artillery, etc., and a navy features battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, and submarines, the air fleets seem set to include various types of aircraft, each designed for specific roles.
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.
The growing importance of aircraft in warfare has made it essential to expand the sections dedicated to the organization of military aviation, among other topics. The information provided is not as comprehensive as I would like; however, all organizations are constantly being updated due to increased experience, making it difficult to source satisfactory data.
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.
Over the past year or so, we've learned at least a couple of important things. The simple fact that a nation has airplanes is a military factor of relatively little significance. A country with almost no airplanes can easily get a few hundred in an emergency if it has the people to build them. The real issue is two-fold. First, of course, is having trained and skilled pilots to operate the aircraft. Naval and military officers who have just earned their certifications at a flying school are of no real value; civilians in the same situation are even less useful.
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.
Second to this is the productive capacity of any country, which can be roughly measured by the number and significance of its businesses involved 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.
These points can't be emphasized enough. A nation's air power in the event of war depends on its skilled pilots and its ability to produce aircraft. The next war will likely treat aircraft as much "contraband" as warships, and any nation that depends on imported planes will be doomed from the start. An airplane probably has a maximum effective lifespan of just one month in tough active service, and it might be even shorter. Additionally, companies capable of creating efficient machines can't be thrown together on short notice.
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.
A significant development over the past year has been the resurgence of the dirigible, which is now regarded much more highly than it was a year ago, or even at any time before that. In the past, it’s clear that progress was slowed down by debates between supporters of "heavier than air" and "lighter than air" aircraft, along with a strange idea that one could only thrive if the other failed.
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.
Such ideas are now outdated, and it's recognized that both have their purposes in war and that they're interdependent. We haven't fully grasped 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[Pg 8] 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.
The current situation can be summarized as follows: the airship has huge potential for attacking well-protected bases and similar targets, but its defense capabilities, whether armed or not, are quite limited. A single airplane should be able to incapacitate or destroy the best airship ever built (if it can even locate the airship in the vastness of the sky). However, the damage that a single airplane can inflict on land defenses or ships is, for now, pretty insignificant.
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.
Hence, the air combat unit already established in Germany is likely to exist everywhere else within the next year or so. This unit consists of a powerful dirigible, accompanied by several aircraft that are probably meant to protect it and fend off attacks from enemy planes.
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:—
This is just the rough start, it seems safe to predict that in the near future, the air combat unit will be assembled something like this:—
(a) An offensive dirigible, carrying the maximum of bombs, etc.
(a) An attack airship, loaded with the maximum number 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.
(b) One or two airships transporting oil and gasoline for the airplanes—possibly able to handle all minor repairs and to carry a certain number of airplanes onboard.
(c) A number of war aeroplanes specially designed for fighting other aeroplanes and attacking hostile dirigibles as chances may occur.
(c) Several warplanes specifically built for engaging other planes and attacking enemy airships as opportunities arise.
(d) A few very swift one man aeroplanes which will be the eyes of the unit.
(d) A few very fast single-man airplanes that will serve as 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.
This seems like a clear certainty. After all, it simply reflects what centuries of experience have shown 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.
The issue is an interesting topic to think about, but in a work that focuses solely on the current state of things, it's probably better not to explore it any further right now. However, one point can be brought up: victory or defeat in aerial warfare will likely depend on which side can first eliminate the other's bases. A dirigible without a base won't survive for long. This is likely to result in significant emphasis being placed soon on anti-aircraft guns and other tools for protecting 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.
Reverting to the layout of this edition, a few words can be said about some of the changes. As mentioned last year, the awkward old system of categorizing monoplanes, biplanes, etc., separately has been removed. Since many companies specialize in both, any such categorization would only create 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.
A table format has been commonly used for most new content. This is much more convenient for referencing and, of course, saves a lot 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.
The effective age of airplanes is a bit of a tricky question because, while one year probably reflects their actual combat usefulness, even in peacetime, the lifespan of training and personal use is more or less indefinite. As a result—although "dead machines" are not counted—it hasn't been possible to establish a consistent age limit. Generally speaking, modern airplanes usually feature detailed improvements instead of the complete overhauls seen in the past. For instance, the difference between 1911 and 1913 is much smaller than the difference between 1909 and 1911. This reality is starting to become apparent in military aircraft.
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.
In Part B, we try to gather examples of airplanes from the past that have historical significance for various reasons. This section stands out for two completely different reasons: (1) the early predictions of some modern practices, and (2) the former popularity of certain ideas that are now entirely obsolete.
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.
Part C is about aircraft engines. It stands out—compared to previous editions—because so many engines are no longer in production. It's probably still too broad; in a year, around half of the manufacturers listed will likely be gone. Just being able to make car engines isn't enough anymore. A plane engine designer has to be a specialist. The perfect aircraft engine has yet to be created; however, it's becoming more obvious that users are focusing on fewer brands, even though the best engine for one type of aircraft isn’t necessarily the best for another 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.
In conclusion, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has generously collaborated with or supported me in various sections. The book is still a bit away from my ideal, but I’m optimistic that this edition will be seen as a significant improvement over past versions.

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.
Adhémar de la Hault, 214 rue Royale, Brussels. In 1906, he created a flapper with a new design. This was followed in 1910 by a machine modeled after a monoplane, featuring one fixed wing and two flapping wings. It didn’t fly, and in August 1911, it was modified into a biplane. However, it still didn’t succeed. M. Hault is continuing to explore the ornithopter concept.

Gas bags.—Continental rubberized fabric, yellow. Ballonet, 16,146 cubic feet (1,500 m³.)
Motors.—2 Pipe motors of 100 h.p. each, placed in line with each other in the fore and aft line, and with clutches and the necessary gearing in between them.
Motors.—Two 100 h.p. pipe motors, arranged in a straight line along the front and back, with clutches and the required gearing in between them.
Speed.—35 m.p.h.
Speed.—35 mph.
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 propellers.
Propellers.—3, which are: one at the front end, powered by both motors when connected, and two located above and on either side of the center of the car, for use when only one motor is running. Chauvière propellers.
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.
Steering.—Vertical steering is achieved with a large double airplane mounted above the car, positioned about a third of the way from the front. Horizontal steering is provided by a double vertical rudder located at the rear end of the car. Stability is maintained by the standard Astra pear-shaped stabilizing gas bags, featuring rubberized cloth fins 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.
Remarks.—The unique feature of this ship is how the propellers are set up. Both engines can be connected to either the front propeller or to the two rear propellers, or even to all three at once, but they are actually meant to power only the front one. When one engine is stopped, the other is connected to the two rear propellers, which are designed for slower speeds than the front one. This way, the running engine isn't overloaded, which would happen if it had to power both a single and dual motor setup on the same propeller.

The Army wing has its headquarters at S. Farnborough, its constitution being as follows:—
The Army wing is headquartered in S. Farnborough, and its structure is as follows:—
1st squadron (airships or kites) see Dirigible Section.
2nd squadron (aeroplanes) base at Montrose.
3rd squadron (aeroplanes) base at Salisbury Plain.
4th squadron (aeroplanes) base at S. Farnborough.

2nd squadron (airplanes) based at Montrose.
3rd squadron (airplanes) based at Salisbury Plain.
4th squadron (airplanes) based at S. Farnborough.
(Four more airplane 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.
An airplane squadron typically includes 18 airplanes (9 in service, 9 replacements). By the end of March 1913, the total number of airplanes, including those on order, training aircraft, and so on, was around 110, of which about 50 (including some unused monoplanes) were ready for combat or available at short notice.
The total of 110 was thus made up:—
The total of 110 was made up as follows:—
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, 2 Caudrons, 30 Farman (various types),
6 Short—and about 20 Avro or Farman or Short not delivered.

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.

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.—The 1911 is the well-known Cody, which, as a 60 h.p. aircraft, won both Michelin 1911 prizes and completed the Daily Mail circuit. Upgraded to a 100 h.p. version, it won the 1912 Michelin cross-country event. By the end of 1912, it reportedly flew a total of 7,000 miles. The 1913 model is almost identical but has a more powerful engine. Special features of the biplanes include maximum camber on the lower wing. Both planes have equal wingspans, very sturdy landing gear, and a chain-driven propeller with a 1¾ to 1 gear ratio. In February 1913, four biplanes were ordered for the British Army.

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 Grahame-White Aviation Co., Ltd., 166 Piccadilly, London, W. Works and Flying Ground: Hendon. Founded by C. Grahame-White, 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.

It’s uncertain whether any of these V types still exist—either way, it doesn’t really matter. Four were given to the Royal Flying Corps. Of these, one was destroyed, while the others—a military one and two naval ones—were used to train mechanics on how to take down and reassemble engines, etc. Handley Page also acquired the Radley-Moorhouse machines (Bleriot copies) and sold them off.

Note.—Owing to the fact that the late Aerial Experiment Association was half Canadian and half U.S.A., it is difficult to draw a very clear dividing line between Canadian and U.S. aviators or machines. Thus, one given here is partly U.S.A., while at least one U.S. machine may be claimed as "partially Canadian."
Note.—Since the former Aerial Experiment Association was made up of half Canadians and half Americans, it's tough to clearly separate Canadian and American aviators or aircraft. Therefore, one example provided here is partly American, while at least one American aircraft can be considered "partially Canadian."

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.
In February 1912, the total of 208 operational airplanes was organized into "squadrillas" of eight planes each; along with these, there were eleven or twelve motor vehicles, one trailer, one fast car, a repair vehicle, and a repair van.
It was then estimated that at the end of 1912, 344 aeroplanes would be available for service.
It was then estimated that by the end of 1912, 344 airplanes 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.
The estimated personnel was temporarily set 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.
Approximately £880,000 was spent on aviation in 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.

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.
During 1912, nearly 500 machines were delivered to the Army, but many old machines have been scrapped. By the end of March 1913, the total was 421 operational military machines, along with an unknown number of training and outdated machines.
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.
About one-third or more of the effective airplanes were Farmans. The rest included all the leading French models, roughly matching the production capacity of these companies. Additionally, there were some other experimental makes.
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.)[Pg 75]
The Navy section of French military aviation is still in the process of being established. There’s no available data yet on the final strength it will provide. Right now, the number of operational war machines is limited. It consists of hydroplanes of the following types: Astra, Borel, Breguet, Caudron, Deperdussin, Donnet-Leveque, Farman, Paulhan-Curtiss, and Sanchez-Besa, totaling well under 20 by the end of March 1913. There are also two special Bleriot models equipped with floats, which can carry 330 lbs of explosives, are fitted with wireless, have a speed of 140 km/h (85 mph), and a range of about 600 miles (1,000 km.)[Pg 75]

FRENCH AEROPLANES—PRIVATE.
Private Aeroplanes.
The total number of machines built in France during 1912 has been estimated at about 1,500. This includes military as well as private machines, also machines exported, and appears to be unduly generous even so. The actual total of machines commenced and completed in 1912 is nearer 1,000.
The total number of machines produced in France during 1912 is estimated to be around 1,500. This figure includes military and private machines, as well as exported machines, and seems a bit too generous regardless. The actual number of machines started and finished in 1912 is closer to 1,000.
The number of private aeroplanes—excluding demonstration and school machines is small.

"Astra" Soc. de Constructions Aéronautiques, (Anciens Etabs. Surcouf) Soc. An'yme 13 Rue Couchat, Billancourt (Seine). Works: 121-123 Rue de Bellevue, Billancourt. Flying grounds: Issy-les-Molineux Villacoublay (S-&-O). This old established balloon and dirigible firm first took up aviation as French agents for the Wrights in 1909. For a time they built Wrights with certain modifications, but by 1912, little save the Wright system of warping remained. Capacity: about 100 machines a year.
"Astra" Soc. de Constructions Aéronautiques, (Formerly Etabs. Surcouf) Anonymous Company 13 Rue Couchat, Billancourt (Seine). Works: 121-123 Rue de Bellevue, Billancourt. Flying grounds: Issy-les-Molineux Villacoublay (S-&O). This long-established balloon and dirigible company first got into aviation as the French representatives for the Wrights in 1909. For a while, they produced Wrights with some changes, but by 1912, the only aspect left of the Wright design was the warping system. Capacity: around 100 machines a year.

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.
Note.—The monocoque is made of wood and steel, while the others are all wood. The monocoque features a coque body, while the others have a standard rectangular shape. The floats for the hydro are shown in the illustration. Otherwise, the ordinary monocoque is pretty much the same as the 1912 model. The racer is somewhat inspired by Deperdussin, but its body is constructed from the inside. There’s no fixed tail. The hydro is a larger version of the monocoque. The floats don’t show anything particularly innovative, except that one float under the tail is linked to the rudder, and the two front floats can be rowed. It comes with a self-starter.

Military machines.—The sales in 1912 were:—32 to France; 5 to Britain; 3 to Italy; 1 to Sweden.
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.
Steering.—The patented control system includes a wheel attached to a pivoted lever. The forward and backward movement of the whole system operates the elevator; the sideways movement changes the shape of the rear edge of the upper wings, and turning the wheel steers the machine. This action also controls the front wheel of the landing gear, allowing the machine to be steered like a car when on the ground.
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.
Portability.—The main wings can be folded against the body of the aircraft. The machine can then be towed on any regular road or stored in places like farm buildings, stables, etc.

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.
Remarks.—All of the above can easily be converted into seaplanes—two long narrow floats without steps. H. Farmans are built from wood and steel; M. Farman is made of wood. In all 1913 biplanes, the ailerons are interconnected. All 1913 models are designed to carry one or, in some cases, two machine guns, and special attention is given to how easily they can be disassembled for transport and reassembled. The 1911-12 H. Farmans had elevators at the front, were significantly longer, and had more surface area than the 1913 models. The ailerons were not interconnected. The M. Farmans are generally the same as they are now, except that all surfaces had rounded edges. On September 11th, 1912, Foury, flying a military M. Farman, set the world's endurance record at that time, flying for 13 hours and 22 minutes and covering 631 miles (1,017 km). All models of this type, including the "big military," are equipped with the Doutre stabilizer. 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.[Pg 93]

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.
Steering.—Vertical steering using a triple horizontal rudder located at the back of the car. Horizontal steering is managed by two vertical rudders, 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.
Remarks.—The main feature of this C.B. type, which sets it apart from Astra ships of a similar size, is the arrangement of the propellers and the use of a 2-speed gearbox. Typically, each motor drives its own propeller through two sets of gearing connected by a Cardan shaft. When one motor is stopped, it is disconnected from its propeller shaft, which is then linked by chain drive to the opposite shaft. The working motor is switched to "low gear," allowing it to make the necessary revolutions to achieve full power while the propellers operate at a slower speed than before. The "low gear" to "high" ratio is 2 to 1, meaning a single motor will operate under optimal conditions when significantly throttled down.

FRENCH DIRIGIBLES (Non-rigid).
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.
These airships were mainly meant for personal enjoyment. As a result, they are built to operate with coal gas when needed.
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.
Every effort is made to make them easy to transport; the long girder frame that distributes the weight is designed to be taken apart.
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 manuvre for some 6 hours at a speed which compares favourably with that of the standard types.
It is believed in France that ships of this kind would be an invaluable asset in wartime, as each could be transported in a single cart, filled with just a few bottles of hydrogen, and when filled, could maneuver for about 6 hours at a speed that compares favorably with 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.
When the reconnaissance mission was completed, the airship could be packed up and moved to safety in an hour, which was hardly possible with a larger vessel due to the large amount of hydrogen needed if it had to be refilled for each operation. Mooring an airship outdoors during wartime requires so much preparation and attention that it seriously disadvantages the alternative plan of keeping these vessels unfilled. Additionally, sending an airship back to its remote hangar every time means doubling the workload for the ship.

GERMAN MILITARY CLASS—GROSS-BASENACH. (Semi-rigid)
Up to date, these vessels have been designed by Major Gross and Oberingenieur Basenach.
So far, these vessels have been designed by Major Gross and Chief Engineer Basenach.
The utmost secrecy is observed as to their details.
The details are kept completely confidential.
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.
The method of using 2 ballonets has been taken from the Parseval type, and it seems that the Parseval system for operating 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.

PARSEVAL CLASS (Flexible).
Luftfahrzeug-Gesellschaft m.b.H, Berlin, W. 62.
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.
When the "Motorluftschiff Studien Gesellschaft" was established at the request of the German Emperor, a committee was created to acquire an experimental airship of the most promising design. Major Von Parseval's first airship was chosen, and since then the company has focused on enhancing this type and conducting extensive and expensive research, all of which have been incorporated into 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.
The standout feature of all these crafts is their unmatched portability. Nearly all other so-called non-rigid vessels distribute the load with a long girder that also acts as a car. This girder is cumbersome to pack and transport. Parseval uses a relatively small car and distributes the weight by hanging it lower below the balloon than usual, as well as using two ballonets, 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.
These 2 ballonets let the ship adjust its balance by simply pumping air into one while letting air out 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.
Another essential feature of this type is the automatic valve operation system. Currently, there's no other valve operation method as reliable as this one.
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 third essential feature of the class is the use of a swinging car, which automatically stabilizes pitching caused by changes in propeller thrust by adjusting the position of the center of gravity.
A fourth feature is the use of limp propeller blades. A propeller of this type is very easily packed up.
A fourth feature is the use of flexible propeller blades. A propeller like this is really easy to pack away.
The shape of these vessels is in accordance with the experiments of Professor Prandtl.
The shape of these vessels is based on the experiments of Professor Prandtl.

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. [Pg 158]
This vessel was somewhat modified when the Society purchased it. The key feature is that it can be disassembled in just a few minutes and transported on a truck. Its main characteristic is that it has a ballonet at each end. This is explained in the case of type A (P.L. 2). This class ascends with the forward ballonet empty and tilted up at the bow. The propeller is similar to that of P.L. 2. The car is also set on wire runners. It originally had a capacity of 4,000 m³. Built in 1908. Station: Bitterfeld. The car is currently located at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. [Pg 158]

Gas bag.—The front end is semi-ellipsoidal with semi-axes of 15.4 feet (4.7 m) and 11.8 feet (3.6 m), from which it expands to its maximum diameter. This diameter is maintained for about two-thirds of its length, after which it starts to taper to a point at the back. It's made of two layers of rubber-proofed material strips arranged diagonally across each other. It is also equipped 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.
Ballonets.—One at each end, making up about a quarter of the total capacity. Because of this setup, the balance can be adjusted, and steering can be done in the vertical direction by filling one more than the other. Pressure in the ballonets and gas bag is 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.
Motor.—4-cylinder 85 h.p. Daimler positioned on one side of the car to create more space. 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.
Propellers.—12-1/3 feet (3.75 m.) in diameter, 250 to 300 r.p.m., 4-bladed, with blades designed in a unique way. When not in motion, the material they are made from droops down loosely; when in operation, these flaps extend outward due to centrifugal force.
Speed.—27 miles per hour. 43 kilometers per hour.
Speed.—27 mph. 43 km/h.
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 (12½ 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.
Car.—Length, 22-1/3 feet (6.8 m.) Width 4.1 feet (1.22 m.) Made of nickel steel, with U bars screwed together for quick assembly. The sides are lattice girders. The entire structure is boat-shaped and covered with canvas. It includes a motor, a chart table, and a 480-foot (146 m.) long trail rope that weighs 220 lbs. (100 kg.) There's a wheel for horizontal steering at the front. A 110-gallon (500 litre) fuel cask is mounted on the girders at the rear, 41 feet (12½ m.) below the gas bag. It can swing horizontally on wires running over rollers. Without this mechanism, the car's forward swing would raise the nose too high, which could be dangerous; however, the car's free motion shifts the center of gravity forward, maintaining stability.
Steering.—In vertical plane, by altering the trim. In horizontal plane, by a rudder of 80.7 sq. feet (7½ m²) immediately behind the vertical plane. Two fixed horizontal planes are placed at the rear end of the gas bag above the central line.

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.
Remarks.—Two of these ships were being built, with one intended for presentation and the other for sale to the German government. The hull is constructed from a special 3-ply wood made from Russian white fir; this wood is molded into channel bars, angle bars, and various other necessary shapes. The hull's strength is such that it can be supported at the ends without sustaining damage; its lightweight design means that, although the ship is nearly 50% larger than Zeppelin II, the hull actually 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.

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.

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.[Pg 188]

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.
General Note.—In the early nineties, Professor Langley and the Wright Brothers were testing heavier-than-air machines, but interest in the topic has only recently grown. While there are some small dirigibles, most American attention is focused on airplanes. Ballooning was very popular from 1907 to 1911, but has since declined.
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.
It is said that there are definitely at least two thousand people in the U.S.A. who have created flying machines. Most of these have been homemade replicas of standard designs. The number of individual builders of replicas and unique designs has significantly decreased, and only a few well-established manufacturers remain.
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.
Although inventors are still active in the Patent Office and there are many clubs, the general public shows very little real interest in aviation. Most 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.
In 1912, commercial development appeared promising. The less skilled were being removed, and capable aircraft builders backed by sufficient funding started working on organized business plans. However, the latter half of the year experienced a significant downturn. By spring 1913, the outlook looked much better, and there was overall 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.
An effort has been made to include the name of every aero club that has been established recently in the United States, as well as those that have been around for a long time. This list is thought to cover 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.
Many of these clubs are just names. They were created to host events or exhibitions organized by various companies involved in the aviation industry. Many clubs aren't officially registered. Others lack any real structure, being managed by heads 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.
Clubs that are even connected to the Aero Club of America don’t hold members' meetings, and in many instances, they don’t even have meeting rooms. There are only about six active aero clubs in America that truly deserve the name. Three clubs own balloons, which are rented out to members for trips. Very few associations make an effort to promote aeronautics, support experimenters, or engage 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.A. PRIVATE AVIATORS (to end of 1911).
(The number against any name is, unless otherwise stated, the Ae. C. America pilot certificate number. Only a few American aviators have bothered to obtain the Ae. Certificate. America produces a large number of aviators who fly for pleasure or exhibitions only and have not gone into competitions under International Rules. These consequently do not bother about certificates; but most of those recorded could easily obtain them, if they cared to try.)
(The number next to any name is, unless stated otherwise, the Ae. C. America pilot certificate number. Only a few American pilots have taken the time to get the Ae. Certificate. America has a lot of pilots who fly for fun or perform in exhibitions only and haven't participated in competitions under International Rules. As a result, they don't worry about certificates; however, most of those listed could easily get one if they wanted to.)

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.
Curtiss Aeroplane Co., Hammondsport, N.Y. Glenn H. Curtiss in 1907 and 1908 was a member of the Aerial Experiment Association, created by Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell. This Association built four aircraft, each based on the designs of the four engineers in the Association: F. W. Baldwin, Lieut. T. E. Selfridge, G. H. Curtiss, and J. A. D. McCurdy. The last one built was the June Bug, designed by Curtiss, and it was the most successful. In the spring of 1908, the Association was disbanded, and The Aeronautical Society commissioned Curtiss to create an airplane with carte blanche regarding the design. He developed a 4-cylinder machine with a Curtiss engine and flew it. A duplicate was quickly constructed, equipped with an 8-cylinder engine, and taken to Europe for the first Gordon Bennett race, which he won. Upon his return, he continued to refine this type with minor improvements. Later, the front elevator was moved closer in, eventually discarded, and a fan tail was adopted, which remains the standard design for land machines today. 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.
On January 26, 1911, the first successful flights were conducted with a hydroaeroplane at the winter camp in San Diego, California. This aircraft had two floats arranged in tandem. One design was eventually adopted, leading to great success that continues to be standard today. Various experiments were conducted with this machine. It was modified into a tractor for one instance, lifted onto warships, and transformed into a triplane, among other changes.
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 1912, he released his current model of flying boat. This design is being quickly developed, and small adjustments are being made to almost every aircraft produced.
In May, 1913, he produced a special 4-passenger flying boat for a customer on special order.

SELLERS. Quadruplane.
Matthew B. Sellers, R.F., D2, Norwood, Ga. Has been successfully experimenting for a number of years with a staggered quadruplane, and has given the aviation world a number of valuable 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 Aeronautics, June, 1909; October, 1909; November, 1910; January, 1911; January, 1912. No actual details of the machine are available, but it follows closely the patent drawings (see references). He is one of the few real scientific flying men in the U.S.A. The original machine with slight changes was still flying at end of 1912 with only 5 h.p. B.H.P. The flying speed is 20 m.p.h.

THOMAS Biplanes.
Thomas Bros., Bath, N.Y., O.W., and W.T. Thomas began experimenting and flying in 1908 with a machine on the order of a Curtiss. In the winter of 1909-10, a type of their own was produced and was flown during 1911 by Walter Johnson in exhibitions. In 1912 they continued the same type, with refinements. In 1913 they adopted the overhanging top plane type, but of the same general high order of construction.
Thomas Bros., Bath, N.Y., O.W., and W.T. Thomas started experimenting and flying in 1908 with a machine similar to a Curtiss. In the winter of 1909-10, they created their own design, which was flown during 1911 by Walter Johnson in exhibitions. In 1912, they continued developing that design but made some improvements. By 1913, they switched to the overhanging top wing design while maintaining the same high standard of construction.

In the pages that follow, we've tried to include photographs of all the airplanes from the past six years that, for one reason or another, "made history" in their time.
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."[Pg 2b]
While many are just bizarre machines that, based on what we know now, seem silly, the roots of modern practice can be found in many other aircraft showcased in this graveyard of failed ideas. It's also worth mentioning that at least one manufacturer, who is now one of the leaders in the industry, started out with machines that were completely "freaks."[Pg 2b]

WRIGHTS (the) (Orville and Wilbur), 7 Hawthorn Street, Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A. Chevs. Leg. d'Hon. In 1896 the Brothers Wright began to study aerial flight. In 1900 they were making glides. In 1903 they first fitted a motor, and on December 17th of that year made a power flight of about 250 yards. Reports of this were received with incredulity, and right up to July, 1908, when Wilbur Wright appeared in France, many people still regarded the Wrights as a myth. Wilbur Wright easily beat the French machines in circling, etc. He won the Michelin Cup, being up 2 h. 20 m. 23-1/3 sec. Distance 76½ miles official record. Actual, estimated at 93 miles. The exploits of Wilbur Wright put aviation on quite a new footing. Since 1908 the Wright type has been surpassed by others; but to the Wrights will always belong the credit of having made a decided step in the science. Wilbur died of typhoid, 1911.
