Text Appearing Before Image:
rities, who visited the Paris salon^directed very serious attention to the single-seated,high-speed war monoplanes which were on view.Here is to be found the emergence of a machine ofa very definite and important type. It was with great interest, and some surprise,during the progress of the French military trials, inOctober, 1911, that those interested in airmanshipread of the ordering, by the French authorities, ofa large number of single-seated monoplanes. Thesurprise, it should be mentioned, was occasioned bythe fact that single-seated machines should have beenpurchased just at a time when passenger monoplaneswere arousing most interest. But the French military experts knew their ownneeds. They had mapped out, for the single-seated,almost racing-type machine, an important field ofactivity in war-time.

In several of the single-seated, high-speed mono-planes, as seen at the Paris show, it is possible toattain a flying rate of approximately eighty milesan hour. In such a machine, it is intended that theofhcer-pilot should, in war-time, effect a swift dashover the enemys lines, and fly back, without an in-stants delay, with whatever observations he has beenable to make. Apart from being able to return veryrapidly to Headquarters, the airmans high speedwould, of course, be an appreciable factor in hisfavour, when subjected to artillery fire.
