We have selected the four categories which best exemplify the advance in the powers of aircraft, namely (1) speed in a straight line by landplanes and seaplanes ; (2) altitude,without a passenger ; (3) distance flown non-stop from point to point ; and (4) duration without refuelling. The initials used are :—G.B. (Great Britain), It. (Italy), U.S.A. (America), G. (Germany), and F. (France). 3
