MAY 22, 1914. THE PILOTS AND HOW TO RECOGNISE THE MACHINES /OGHT- No. 5. The 65 h.p. Martinsyde Biplane looks somewhat similar to the Henry Farman biplane when in the air, but may be differentiated from the latter machine by means of its chassis, which has no skids, and by the different shape of its tail planes. No. 6. Pilot: Mr. L. A. Strange. No. 5. Pilot: Mr. J. Blatherwick, No. 6. The 80 h.p. Ble'riot Monoplane will be easily recognised, as it has rounded wing tips and differs from the other mono planes entered in that the rear portion of the fustlagt is left uncovered. No. 7. The 100 h.r. M. Farman Biplane. This machine will be readily recognised, as it is the only one in the race having a front elevator. No. 7. Pilot : Mr. J. Alcock. No, 8. Pilot: Mr. W. R. Ding. No. 8. The 100 h.p. Handley Page Biplane will be one of the easiest machines to identify, owing to the peculiar shape of its wings which, as will be seen from the silhouette, are crescent-shaped. 539 D 2
