OCTOBER 11, 1928 m Si An Historic Exhibit. The Junkers W33 "Bremen,'' which made the first east to west Atlantic flight. FRANCE France is represented by five aeroplanes, of which, however, four were exhibited at Paris, and are therefore already known to our readers. Bleriot.—This famous French firm exhibits an entirely new type, the Bill, which is a low-wing passenger monoplane of plywood construction. The engine is a water-cooled, with nose radiator. The undercarriage is unusual in that each wheel is supported on a sort of " wish-bone " arrange- ment of struts from the wing roots. We hope to give a detailed description of this machine next week. Henry Potez is represented by the Potez 32 monoplane shown at the Paris Show, and which has now received the registration letters F-AITZ. The engine is a Salmson radial air-cooled. • ITALY Italy's contribution to the Berlin show consists in live aircraft, a number of engines, and some models and photo- graphs. Aeronautica d'Italia S.A. exhibit a Fiat A.120 two-seater, which is obviously a two-seater fighter but has been disguised A German Air Yacht: The large Rohrbach " Ro- mar '' flying boat ofLuftHansa. It is fitted with three B.M.W. en- gines of 800 h.p. Breguet is represented by the famous " Nungesser-Coli " machine shown at Paris. This is the machine which carried out so many long-distance flights, and is a real battle-scarred warrior. Farman.—The pioneer brothers are represented at Berlin by the large fuselage with wing stumps which was shown at Paris, and in. which the engines are mounted in tandem high above the fuselage, and by the small cabin monoplane with " Titan " engine, also shown in Paris. Nieuport-Delage show a small cabin monoplane with cantilever wings and a Wright " Whirlwind " engine. The pilot is enclosed, and the cabin seats four passengers. by a windscreen in front of the rear cockpit. The swelling of the cockpit coaming, however, renders this disguise rather futile. Macchi.—This firm shows the M.52, holder of the world's speed record. Breda.—Like the machine previously mentioned, the Breda type A.7 is quite obviously a military machine thinlyk disguised. It is a two-seater parasol monoplane. Fiat.—At the last but one Paris Aero Show there was exhibited in skeleton a small all-metal single-seater fighter, which was, as far as is possible to see, identical with the C.R.20 exhibited at Berlin. It has a water-cooled engine, m s m m & Big and Little Brother: Two B.F.W. commer- cial monoplanes, a large 10-seater (the M.20) and a smaHer uater. S SI E§ Si Sfi Si 866
