People Of Weight On Latham's Aeroplane
Divided Back unused

Description:
Latham's Aeroplane. At first sight Mr. Latham's aeroplane appears similar in construction to that of M. Bleriot's but upon examination it is found to be different in many features. He is an Englishman, and his plucky but abortive effort to be the first to cross the Channel will always be remembered by his countrymen. At Rheims, with his Antoinette" monoplane, Mr. Latham sustained a flight of no less than 96 miles in 2 hours 18 minutes, and was second in the Grand Prix.

Kings Of The Air

Description:
A large number of aviators have made flights during strong winds of 11 to 16 yards travelling power in a second, but generally, at present flights are made during comparatively low winds of 7 to 8 yards travelling power in a second.
