JULY 26, 1923 JUNKERS 5 Seafcr Silhouettes from Gothenburg. machines staged, pending the publication next week of the " missing link."—ED.] The later portion of the report received is as follows :— The Udet Flugzeugbau show a Baumer aero similar to that described and illustrated in FLIGHT recently. The machine is a " Tief-decker," or monoplane, with the wing placed low on the fuselage, and seats two, in separate cockpits one behind the other. The monoplane wing is in one piece, and the two box-section spars rest in notches cut in the fuselage. The engine is the popular Siemens radial, and the makers of the Udet monoplane have fitted it with a neat exhaust collector ring of small diameter, which surrounds the nose of the crank-case, and from which a single exhaust pipe runs aft on the starboard side. In the other German machines fitted with the Siemens engine the exhaust pipes are quite short, and must result in " dirty " machines (and crew). The Nordflugwerke exhibit a small two-seater flying boat, intended for school work and for touring. In a general way this machine resembles the Dornier " Libelle," but the boat hull differs from that machine in having two steps. As in the " Libelle," the engine is a Siemens. The Nordflug machine is built entirely of wood, and the finish is not very good, especially for a machine intended to be exhibited at an international aero show. The wing roots on the boat hull are much shorter than those of the " Libelle," and their effectiveness in preventing the machine from heeling over when on the water may be doubted. Sweden FOUR machines are staged on the stand reserved for Sweden. One of these is built by the Svenska Marinens Flygvasenda, and the other three by the Swedish Army Aircraft Factory. A fifth machine displaying the beautiful Swedish flag on its rudder is shown on a separate stand, but seems to be nobody's darling, as we could find nobody on the stand and no informa- tion was available, beyond a small placard tacked to the nose SWEDISH TUMMELITEN SWEDISH J £3 SWEDISH SEAPLANE Silhouettes from Gothenburg. 426
