PROTECTING THE PILOT IN our last issue some reference was made to the work of Auster, Ltd., of 133, Long Acre, London, and Birmingham, in devising shields for protecting the pilot from wind and rain. Necessarily in the limited space at our disposal then it was impossible to do more than refer to a few of the types. It must not be thought, however, that some of the better known and most popular types have been discontinued, that being far from being the case. Two of the designs which come in that category are now illustrated. They are, first, DECEMBER 21, 1922 SIDE-WIND L''Air, our brilliant French contemporary, is making a big effort to deal adequately with the Paris Aero Show. Several issues are being published dealing with all the exhibits, quite an unusual procedure in French journalism. These numbers can be had by readers who notify L'Air at their offices—5, Rue de ITsly, Paris.

Above, the Auster No. 1 screen for Avro machines ; below, the screen No. 52, for D.H.18 and 34 and other machines. the simple and neat screen which has proved so successful in service on Avro and Bristol machines, which is appropriately known as Model No. 1 S.C., while the other one is used on the D.H.18 and D.H.34 and a number of other aeroplanes ; it . has special hinged side wings, and is known as Model No. 52 S.C. Both of these shields have aluminium frames, and are fitted with unsplinterable Triplex glass. • % & m Annual Dinner Of No. 6 Wing, R.N.A.S. THE fourth Annual Dinner of No. 6 Wing, R.N.A.S., Otranto, Italy, was held at the Connaught Rooms on December 9, when about thirty officers attended, the dinner being one of the most cheery so far organised. Wing-Comdr. Edmonds presided, and Admiral Mark-Kerr and Rear- Admiral Howard Kelly, under whose commands the Wing came, were present. After the presidential speech and " The King," Commander Beuttler, in his inimitable manner, proposed the health of " Absent Members," recalling, in a speech in which humour was blended with seriousness, the days spent in Italy. He was followed by Admiral Mark-Kerr, who delivered a striking speech on the need for develop ment of our air services, and by Rear-Admiral Howard Kelly, who spoke of the necessity for co-operation between the Navy and the Air Force at the present time. Group- Comdr. Longmore and one or two other members also spoke, Major Morrison and Flying Officer Leslie causing much laughter by their anecdotes. The dinner ended earlier than in former years, in order that members might have more opportunity of talking over old times, and so was concluded another of the reunions, each of which seems more successful than its predecessor. It is hoped to hold the fifth of the Annual Dinners in December, 1923. SjjJ 3g £& Ig PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED The English Dreyfus Case. By David Ockham, 15, Parseval Road, Hampstead, London, N.W.
