AVIATION is well represented at the Scientific Products Exhibition, opened at King's College, on Wednesday. The displays include those devoted to wood-seasoning, theCalthrop parachute, aeroplane magnetos, celluk^ acetate and dope, and many others illustrating the progress and development of aeronautics. The Air Ministry have lent their valuable assistance, and the collecticn of models is a most interesting and instructive one. A Canadian Air Service. QUICKLY following the statement of Brig.-Gen. Hoare, commanding the R.A.F. in Canada that he believed a Canadian Flying Corps would be established, came an an- nouncement by the Department of Naval Service at Ottawa of the immediate organisation of a Royal Canadian Air Service, having for its primary object the defence of Canada's coasts, but men enlisting will be liable to service outside the Dominion if this should be necessary. Famous French Pilot Killed. LIEUT. GABRIEL GUERIN, one of the best-known French aces, with 23 German machines to his credit, was killed in an aeroplane accident last week. Lieut. Guerin had been men- tioned on 13 occasions, and had received the Military Medal and the Legion of Honour. Rouen and Havre Bombed. ENEMY aeroplanes attacked Rouen and Havre on the night of July 31st. One person was killed and four -were slightly injured in the Havre district. There were no casual- ties at Rouen. State-Aided Training for Disabled Men. PREPARATIONS for training disabled men in aircraft manufacture, general engineering and electrical engineer- ing are being completed by the Pensions Ministry with the help of advisory committees representing the employers and the trade unions. The training for a skilled workman is three years, and during the first 18 months the man is to be partly maintained by the State. The scheme provides for payment of men at the rate of 27s. 6d, weekly during the first six months, 35s. 6d. in the second six months, 42s, 6d. in the third, 525. 6d. in the fourth,and 57*- 6d. in the fifth and sixth half vears. Anv disabled 921 man desiring to be trained under the scheme should apply to his local War Pensions Committee. The German Five-Engined BomfJer. A GIANT German bombing plane was brought down on the night of 'August 10th, to the applause of a number of Americans thrilled by the sight, says the Times correspondent on the American front. The machine was found to contain the bodies of seven Germans, while it was propelled by five six-cylindered engines. Two bombs had failed to explode in the fall, but ignition set one alight, and it quickly exploded, making a suitable hole for the burial of the Germans. Aeroplane Accidents. -•-'.- Two fatal accidents which occurred in an Eastern county last week again emphasise the need for keeping well clear of the ground from which aeroplanes are rising. In one case one woman was killed, another died from her injuries, and five more were seriously injured, by an aeroplane which had difficulty in rising and failed to clear them. * In the second case, one aeroplane came down and a second landed to give assistance. Getting away again, the latter in clearing a hedge killed a young soldier, and also the pony he was riding. Shifting Factories from Rhine Provinces. FROM a Swiss correspondent the Messaggero learns that the British air raids into Germany have reduced almost to ruins many of the munition factories in Baden, Wurtem- berg, and Westphalia, and the production of war material in these districts has been enormously reduced. The Germans are now seeking to establish new factories in provinces further away from the front. • A Quick Change. •..•'•' " AN enemy aeroplane yesterday flew over Valona, the first to come for some time, but it was brought down by two Italian chasers," says Mr. J. M.N. Jeffries in adespatch to the Daily Mat/from that place on August 2nd. " Thepilot of one of these was bathing in the sea when the Austrian was sighted. Heswam ashore fast, put on pyjamas over his bathing things, and thus strangely dressed helped to bring down the enemy at a point 30 miles from here. The Austrian pilot was gravely wounded. His seaplane was a 300-h.p. Kappa, and carried two guns." .-. •V'.-i-. •'••::'-..• ..• . • ' . .-'-.'<- --.
