Then came the tractor type of plane
first shown in the Neuport monopane, with
the engine and propeller in front and the
pilot just back of the wings, This type of
plane has passed through a high state of
development in all sizes within the horse
power limitations of one engine.
With the next new mechanical arrange
ment first principles were used two pro-
pellers being placed out on the wings and
pushing the planes. The engines were di-
rectly connected to the propellers and fitted
on the wing. This later gave way to a
similar arrangement of the engines, but
with tractor propellers in front of the wings.
Recently we have had planes fitted with
many engines distributed over the wings.

these machines weigh as much as fifteen

seem so trivial as to warrant no real

of round cables might add ten miles an

While the airplane to-day contains es-

III the beginning, the writer points out,
yet the mechanical arrangement has
varied as new engines, materials and
processes and greater experience in flying
have shown the way. Of this structural
development, he continues:

ally discarded Another deficiency of this

knows from the make of the machine just
where the blind spot is and how he can
sneak up under it around to one side in
such position that he cannot be seen until
he opens fire. In formation work one is
not permitted to circle around in order to
retain his vision in all directions Over
enemy territory it is important that the
pilot keep his place in the formation, travel

Y "a man in formation over enemy ter

follow convoy, and pounce at once upon
any plane that drops behind to an unpro-

dive away from his fellows, he is immedi-
ately at the mercy Of the Hun scouts. who
will not come too close for fear of receiv
