As the amphibian flying boat has been described and illustrated in FLIGHT, we need not refer to it in detail here. Of the two land machines shown on the Fokker stand, one is a. two-seater fighter of fairly orthodox design. This machine is known as the CIV, and can be fitted with either Napier " Lion " or with a Liberty engine. The CIV is built entirely of steel, with the exception of the covering, which is fabric. Although a fairly large machine, the CIV has but one pair of struts on each side. It is similar to the famous Fokker D.VII, inasmuch as it is a cantilever biplane, the interplane struts serving mainly to resist torsion of the wings. With Napier " Lion " engine the speed is 245 km. (152 m.p.h.), and with Liberty motor 145 m.p.h. It may be recalled that this type was awarded first prize at the international competition at Madrid in February, and we believe that as a result the Spanish Government has ordered a considerable number.
