Powerful Engines.

Maj. E. A. Bishop, an English flyer, says in London Answers: “The modern fighting- scout —and to my mind the single-sekfer is the only real airplane for offensive work-—may have the power of 200 horses throbbing In its wonderful engine. Some of the machines are very slender of waist and almost transparent of wing. Airplanes do not thrust their warlike nature upon the casual observer. One has to look twice before definitely locating the gun or guns attached so unobstructively to the framework and synchronized, where necessary, to shoot through the whirring propeller in front.”
