It speak? well for thc mental ability and fore sight of the<ohicers in high authority in tho British navy and army, that practically every one of their fore casts mado before the war has work ed out accurately In prctice, but I though these officers h^ve expressed their opinions freely, chiefly at meet ings of thc Aeronautical Society ot Cr cat 'Britain and at lectures to cer tadn naval and militury institutions at various times during the past three years it was only too evident, even before the war, that insufllclent at tention had been paid to them by men in still bigher political supplies of aeroplanes were obviously much too small. Naturally the first task before Great Britain, when the wonderful effective ness of aeroplanes became evident, was to turn out as many machines as possible, and In Franco and Germany also the problem of output effective ly put a stopper on all serious forms of experimenting. Consequently, the tyes bf air craft on both side? remain practically the same today, as, they were before tho war, the only differ ence being that designs which were proved defective or ineffective were pomptly condemned, and every effort was made to turn out as many as pos sible of those types which had proved their value. For this reason the monoplane has been practically abandoned by all countries. In England thc monoplane has never been popular, except among exhibition fliers and aerial acrobats, thc objection to it being that neither tho. pilot nor the passenger ever has a thoroughly good view below him, and that for a given horsepower it ls actually easier to get high speed ou: of a biplane than out o fa monoplane, and yet produce a machine which will lift reasonablo weights and land rea sonably slowly. It on o looks at a monoplane and ? biplane "head-on", one sees that a monoplano is what is known to every engineer aa a "king-post girder," whereas a biplane ls a "box girder." Thc actual amount of struts and trusses and wires j? about the same in either case, ao that for a given WI?;A of v.ing from tip to tin, or span, as lt ls oiled, a biplane lias twp lift ing surfaces, one above the other, against the single lifting surface- of the monoplane, so that it bas twice the lifting area, and yet the amount of stuff in Hie way of struts and wires to be pushed t hrough tho air ls rough ly about the same; and, as all these set up what is called "head r?sis tance," the speed In each case is abort the sanie; also tho weight of each la pretty nearly Ute same, because it ls possible In a biplane, or box-girder structure, to use lighter main spars for the wings. ,. . The greater the surface' of an areo plane for the samo load, thc slower Ute Bald machine can land and the quicker lt will get off the ground. Which naturally is an immenso advan tage to*military airmen, who have to work from any reasonably smooth field they can find instead of from a properly prepared aerodrome. All these advantages taken together give the reason why the monoplane has boca ousted by the biplane. In attacking hostile air craft In the early part qt the War. the usual wea pons were either ordinary service rrflles or automatic pistols, thou-h a good many pilota, especially the crack fliers of '.'tabloid.*' scout?, pre'erxed to use tho old-fashlonedlong-bnrreled t'olt revolvor throwing a heavy bul let. They trusted to their own.skill and to thc speer* of their machines io escape being hit themselves, and pre ferred the heavy caliber weapon be cause ot the smashing power of it? bullet, as tho ordinary rifle bullet will go clean through a'strut or a spar of an aeroplano without doing any damage. Ilowe.vcrc.it .aeon became ^evident that a machin? ?-gun mounted on an aeroplane was actually the most effi cient weapon, but there was tho ob vious difficulty of fining a machine gun on a "tractor** machine so that the stream of bullet1? would not hit tho propeller. Vario is efforts, all or thom futilo and a good many of them humorous, have beorr made to get over this difficulty. Some people have tried fitting a UKI ch ino gun on the top of a biplane so as to fire over the top of the propellor, a,'id fho French even tried fixing tho gun so high up on a monoplane that it clear ed the propeller tip, but of course the passenger in each case had ' - stand up to fire, which was exceed ingly uncomfortable for him, consid ering that he ir. plowing through tho air at over 60 miles an hour, and consequently his shooting was apt to bc more erratic than effective. The best system of all ls to amount a machine gun on tho front of an or dinary pusher biplane of tho type which was originated by Mr. Henry Farman. This system has boon used for quite a considerable time In ex periments In all countries, and be fore the war u good many firms laid themselves out to produce gun-earry ing pushers. One of thc most suc cessful of theso waa turned out by the big. .armament firm of Vickers, Him i ted, and the. result is that quite a largo number of,Vickers gun car riers arc in constant usn. Naturally one cannot givn any approximation .of the number produced since tho war began. The success of tills type of mach's? has, of course encouraged the produc tion of still bigger things or this kind, and just before the war it became publicly known that the Short Broin era had produced a big seaplane of 160 hp. w.hich carried a 1 1-2 pounder quick firer instead of a machine gun. Tills machine was much noticed at the great review of the British fleet less tuan a month before the war was de clared, and naturally''similar weapons have been produced since, so lt Js q?ite possible to believe that we are actually within sight of the aerial warship capable of carrying at any rato nava ::-ponuders. tr nothing big ger.--Popular Mechanics.
