Every pedestrian, unless he has had driving

Put Fifty Thousands Of These

It Could Be Done 1t Wouldn't Take Long.
1t Might End the War OUR Way.

Here are facts concerning the flying ma
chine problem
The machine, of which you see picture
on this page, has made more than thousand
flights
1t can go about sixty miles an hour.
AS shown here it is arranged to ahght and
rise from water or ice 1t can equally well be
arranged to land on and rise from the ground.
The engines in this flying machine are not
Liberty motors Rolls Royce engines, or any
other contrivance initiating chronometer nice
to talk about and watch, impossible to produce
in quantities
This machine which has flown thousand
times, carries TWO ORDINARY FORD EN-
GINES, such as you see in any Ford car. The
engines are altered slightly, inexpensively, for
flying machine use.
How does this picture and how do these
statements impress the air experts?
This machine, flying sixty miles an hour,
can carry three hundred pounds of dynamite
to be dropped on the heads of Germans. Would
not twenty-ive or fifty thousand such machines
