PREFACE.
s 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.

Second to this is the productive capacity of any country; which may roughly be gauged from the

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.

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).

BELGIAN AEROPLANES.
Military Aeroplanes.
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.

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.

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.

Page 36
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.
Speed.—35 m.p.h.
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.
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.

Army Wing Royal Flying Corps, Aeroplane Section.
The Army wing has its headquarters at S. Farnborough, its constitution being 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.
(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, 2 Caudrons, 30 Farman
(various types),
6 Short—and about 20 Avro or Farman or Short not delivered.

Army Wing Royal Flying Corps, Aeroplane Section.
The Army wing has its headquarters at S. Farnborough, its constitution being 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.
(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, 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.

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.

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: 1¾ 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.

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:—
Handley-Page V.
Length, 27½ feet (8.40 m.) span, 42½ feet (12.95 m.) area, 240 sq. feet. (22¼ 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.

PIGGOTT.
Piggott Bros. & Co., Ltd., 220, 222 & 224, Bishopsgate, London, E.C. This well-known firm of shed makers built
a novel biplane in May, 1910 (details Flight, May 21st, 1910), and in 1911 a monoplane with enclosed body
(Flight, April 1st, 1911). In 1912, both were disposed of, and the firm is not proceeding with its experiments. It
has, however, a staff of skilled mechanics and a great deal of floor space for the construction of aeroplanes to
specifications.
PLANES.
Planes, Ltd., 6, Lord Street, Liverpool. Works: Duke Street & Cleveland Street, Birkenhead. Not building at
present. In October, 1910, the firm produced a biplane, designed by W. P. Thompson, fitted with a special
pendulum stabilising device. This was followed a year or so later by a monoplane.

AUSTRALIAN.
Military Aviation.
In January, 1913, the Australian Flying Corps was instituted, as a part of the citizen forces. During 1913, about
£5,600 is to be spent.
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.

BULGARIAN.
In the Balkan War, 1912-13, Bulgaria hastily organised an aviation corps. This, though necessarily lacking in
military organisation, proved very useful on several occasions.
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:—

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.

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.
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:—

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.

Page 104
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.)

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 number of private aeroplanes—excluding demonstration and school machines is small.

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

The first dirigible work was building part of the old Lebaudy in 1903, followed in
1906 by the Ville de Paris. The total number of dirigibles of this type completed
by the end of 1912 stood at 14, one very large dirigible in hand for the French
Army, and one small one for the British Navy, and another for the Russian Army.
Owing to changes in names, or owing to two names getting supplied to one ship,
confusion frequently exists as to the names of the Astra dirigibles. The correct list

[C] This ship has frequently figured as four different dirigibles.
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.

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.

Total lift.—Nearly 8 tons (8,000 kgs.) Useful lift, 2¾ tons (2717 kgs.)
Gasbags.—Continental rubbered fabric. Weight, 380 grammes per m². Strength
1,000 kg. per metre. Leakage under 10 litres per m² per 24 hours.

of the motor space.
Speed.—35 m.p.h. (56 km.)
Propellers.—2 Chauvière. Diameter, 19¾ 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
volume, 7,500 m³.

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.

FRENCH DIRIGIBLES (Non-rigid).

ZODIAC CLASS.
Page 181
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 manuvre 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.

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.

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.)
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 (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.
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.

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.

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.
Page 259
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 of school machines.
Farman.
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.

which were designed by Captains Crocci and Ricaldoni, are the shape of the envelope, (maximum diameter very

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.

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 Germany.

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
30 sheds occupied by few experimenters.

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
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

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 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.

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.

HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT.
In the following pages an attempt has been made to include photographs of all
aeroplanes of the past six years, which, for one reason or another, "made
history" in their own day.
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."

SANTOS-DUMONT XIX. This little machine, surface only 9 m². made an
extraordinary sensation in France in 1909. It flew at the then incredible
speed of 65 m.p.h. (100 k.p.h.) Santos-Dumont presented all rights to the
world soon afterwards, and a large number were built before it was
realised that only an extremely light weight pilot could fly in one. Few of

Note.—So far as possible this is a complete list of all the aero engines of any
importance.
Data are confined to what is now being made or actually in use; untested "show
novelties" are ignored.
In the case of some engines it has for various reasons proved impossible to
obtain full data in time for inclusion in this edition.
In a general way these lists are confined to aeroplane engines.

SANTOS-DUMONT (Alberto), 150 Avenue des Champs-Elysees, Paris.
Brazilian, of French descent. Born 1873. Officer Leg. d'Hon. Took
up ballooning at an early age. He was the first to use a petrol motor
in a balloon. In 1900 the fifth dirigible constructed by him crossed
the Seine. On Oct. 19th, 1901, in No. 6, he circled the Eiffel Tower
and won the 100,000 franc Deutsch prize. In 1906 he became
interested in heavier than air machines, and began on a helicopter.
Abandoning this he built a box kite type of aeroplane, and on
October 23rd, 1906, won the Archdeacon prize for a heavier than air
flight of not less than 25 metres. Thereafter, comparatively little was
heard of him, except that he was experimenting with the Demoiselle,
till in 1909 he made a record on this type—the designs of which he
presented to the world. Has not been prominent since.

WRIGHT (Howard). See HOWARD WRIGHT.
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.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate.
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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg
electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, 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.
