DECEMBER 30, 1911. A creation by "Mich," the great French humourist, at the stand of the Continental Tyre and Fabric Co. at the Paris Aero Salon, M, de Fouqui^res; Tootit, la Belle Otero, Fragson, Mayol, Mistinguett, Dranem, Juchmes. Mallet, Breguet, Gen. Roques, Godart, Henri de Rothschild, Comte Recope, Due De:azes, Henri Desgranges; in the ring, Tristan Bernard, Johnson and Cuny; Henr Deperdussin Monoplane. IN order lo exhibit their four types of monoplanes most effect ively, the Deperdussin firm went to the extent of engaging two stands for that purpose. On one stand, situated under the centre dome of the Grand Palais, were exhibited the 100-h.p. Gnome- engined three-seater monoplane and the 50-h.p. single-seater cross country machine. At the further end of the Show was the other stand, on which the 35-h.p. Anzani-engined popular- and the 70-h.p. two-seater military-types were exhibited. Very little need b: said of these excellent machines, as, in the main, they do not differ Irom the Deperdussin monoplane, as has already been described in FLIGHT, and demonstrated practically in England by such pilots as W. H. Ewen, Lieut. Porte and Gordon Bell, and on the Continent by Such men as Prevost and Vedrines. The latter model—the 70-h.p. military monoplane, however, is a new one, but its only difference lies in the fact that passenger and pilot are arranged tandem fashion in the fuselage in such a way that the former is so far forward that he can obtain an excellent view of what is directly beneath the aeroplane by glancing over the front of the wings. The The 50-h.p. Deperdussin racer. importance of this feature for military requirements is readily apparent. Both in design and workmanship the machines are of the highest order, and reflect great credit on the Deperdussin firm, and more particularly on the firm's designer and works manager, M. Bechereau.
