the propeller implies the same principles of
fight we know that the inventor of this pO-
Sition was Roland GarroS, made prisoner by
the Germans before he had a chance to de-
stroy his machine.
On the Fokker the gun is also fixed; it is
set above the hood, a bit to the right, almost
in front of the pilot 1t can, however, fire
only in the circle described by the propeller
On account of the fixed character Of the gun
the pilot has to swing the entire aerOplane in
order to bring it to bear upon his opponent.
Hence come the difficulties of aiming already
mentioned. The original idea of the system
OF firing through the propeller lies in the fact
that the mechanism of the rapid-fire gun is
automatically hindered during the passage of
the propeller in front of the barrel This
barrel is placed directly behind the propeller
The motor is attached 10 the gun by a cam reg
ulated so as to fire the gun with a delay not
exceeding 1900 of a second. AS soon as the
blade of the propeller is not in the trajectory
of the prOjectile the system is liberated
When the pilot wishes to fire he presses on a
very small lever, placed in the centre Of the
double handle of the directing lever, which
acts by means of a device on the trigger
of the gun.
The German aeroplanes for two. like the
L. v W. lOl IIloldlCts dlt pIUNlutU WIFI IWO
rapid-fire guns-one fixed, located on the up
per plane, the other movable, placed on the
framework behind the Observers station
Mounted on a revolving base, this gun has a
wide range of fire. The guns in front and
rear are both operated by the observer. On
a more recent type the front gun was placed
between the two supporting planes, the barrel
next to the motor and parallel to it. This is
fired by the pilot, who controls it with his
right hand.
All the German aeroplanes are armed with
one or two rapid-fre guns, Maxim, Lewis or
Parabellum; some Of them have three These
weapons have been specially adapted for and
to aerial service Some, such as the Parallel
lum, are provided with belts of cartridges
holding not less than thousand loads
Two of the most serviceable French ma
chimes are the Newport and Spad biplanes.
The Spad biplane is the fastest avion IN the
French service. It travels at the rate of 125
miles an hour. Another plane of the French
type is a dreadnought carrying two machine
gunners and five machine guns.
The postgraduate course in the school Of
instruction for French army aviators calls
for aerial acrObatics which a few years ago
were used only for exhibition purposes.
Looping the-lOop is one of the simplest

jumping at the other sometimes at
an angle of 90 degrees. Under these
conditions the air pressure may be
so great as to break off the planes
with a snap.
The state of the atmosphere plays
a great part in these aerial battles.
Calm days, without the least wind,
when the sky is covered by large
gray clouds, are very favorable for
surprise attacks. The clouds act as
a screen and allow the aviator to
hide himself until the very moment
which seems to him most oppOrtune
to dart upon his surprised enemy
The Germans seem to like a method
which they introduced and which has
served them well on occasion When
the clouds lie low, one of their aero
planes dasheS around below the
clouds, only two or three hundred
yards up. This machine acts as a
bait 1t is usually a slow machine. of
an old model, with little armament.
1t seems a relatively easy prey for
the enemy. AS soon as it is seen by
a French aerOplane it is pursued rap
idly, even far over the lines of the
enemy. But at the very moment
when the fight is about to begin I'M
der conditions most favorable for our
pilot, Unexpectedly three or four
German aeroplanes of the latest
model and fully armed surround
him. Flying above the clouds, they

things that the French army aviator has to
do. He does fip-fOps in the air, what are
known as wing slips vertical twists and
spinning nose dives. In the last-named evo-
luton the aviator goes to a height of four
thousand feet, cuts off his motor and crosses
the controls. The machine first scoops up
ward and then falls sidewise, the nose down
vertically, spinning around and around as
it falls
