|AIRPLANE P|GMY IS
 BIG BARLING BOMBER.
New Ship Has Wing Spread
 Of i2O Feet

Dayton. O.. Oct. s0.-The Barlini
 bomber is the largest airplane, Tn
 Martin bomber. the largest airplsn'
 in use by the air service before th,
 advent of the Barling. is a pigm,
 compared to il. The RaTling soon |
 to make a tour Of the country Tn,
 exact itenerary has not vet been an nounesd. but the machine will be al New York about October 20,
 The Barling has n wing spread oi iso feet, height of sg feet and an overall length of So feet.
 The gasoline capacity Is six tons, or 5000 gallons, The oil capacity i.ab6 pounds or isi gallons.
 Six Liberty engines are required to power the Barling.
 The minimum crew required to operate the Barling consists of four men. but provision is made for crew Of eight.
 The weight of the airplane loaded will exceed 10000 pounds. specifea- tons require that not mofe than b.ooo pounds of bombs shall be carried at one time. but were anything so large as a 10000 pound bomb developed, the Barling could lift it and fly for two hours.
 Specifications required q flying speed Of 90 miles an hour. On her Initial flight the Bariing accomplished 93 miles per hour without difficulty.
 With 2.000 gallons Of gasoline, 12 n, ntoht at f,sn ..a l,c t,na H.a With engines throttled or some of them cut off completely. the time of flight can be correspondingly length ened.
 A total of seven guns operated from five positions or cockpits cover the whole field in which enemy sircraft nay approach. The gun defense may DC augmented for day flying. in case he airplane is used for day as well as light bombing. for which it is planned.
 The tail is a biplane structure, orming two planes 25 per cent lager han the main wings of tho DH-4 Iirplanes. There are four equal size udders.
 The Barling has eight wheels with ires 60X12 inches, the largest ever made. Two wheels with smaller tires re on truck further forward under he fuselage to prevent the airplane rom nosing over. A radio set has been installed in the bomber.
 w. H. Barling, designer of the Bar ng bomber speaking of the purposes such an airplane, says:
 1.-Two elements have influenced the :. s. Air Service in Investigating the expenditures absorbed in the produc- on of an airplane such as the Bar lg bomber. These may be classified } the known uses of such an air lane and the uses not yet known, wing to lack of experience with rge airplanes. When large airplane is spoken ! ,, one of some 100000 pounds, or 'ur times the size of the Barling omber, one might drop two 30,0O0 ( ound bombs, is intimated. It is not ; possible that such an airplane may ' , the logical development of the next ' years the Barling bomber being q ep in that direction. Hence the arling bomber, is to be looked upon | a small big airplane rather than g small one"
