EMPIRE DEFENDERS
BRITAIN'S defences are the strongest in the world. On the sea and in the air, her power is such that she cannot be invaded. This page is dedicated to-day to two of the Services upon which the task devolves of defending an Empire.
The remarkable photograph below was taken in Weymouth Bay a month before the outbreak of War, when the whole of the Rosarve Fleet of 133 ships, including battleships, aircraft-carriers, cruisers, submarines and destroyers, were reviewed by H.M. the King. Only part of the fleet is shown here.

been produced.
This assuredly cannot be for lack of trying. The present price of tobacco should in itself) serve as sufficient spur to the in- genious. But now the Nazis step in where others feared to trend, or trod very gingerly. A whole herbal museum is to be let Hoose on the smoking section of
the German public.
Adulteration is to be compul- sory, but so wide is the range of choice that unlimited combina- tions of ingredients should be possible. Who knows, necessity may drive Germans to make great discoveries in the realm of smoke? Other substitutes intro- duced under the four-years scheme have, we are told, proved better than the real thing, and it may now be the turn of Frau Nikotin to undergo મ long- delayed loss of prestige.
Among the substitutes speci- fied in the official list are laven- der, thyme, cherry leaves, clover, dried nettles, mint, coltsfoot, | woodruff, buckthorn, lemon peel, rose lenves, vanilla root, and violet root. Altogether there should be something to suit all tastes, and in any case there are few tastes that cannot be cul- tivated.

Smokers throughout the world have hitherto been strangely conservative. Perhaps it is the might of the tobacco trusts that has prevented tobacco substitutes from coming to the front. But even the most deep-scated of vested interests must quake when the Fuehrer speaks-and the Fuehrer himself, be it noted, smokes little if at all..
One does not doubt that the supreme discipline of the Ger- man people will rise to this as to the many other demands made upon their adaptability. Strange odours may arise, and strange tastes be produced in the mouth, but with every auffering whiff they will be able to reflect that they have dealt one more blow at encirclement.
Below, we publish in outline the aircraft of the Royal Air Force ——— the types of machines Britain is turning out in such mass production that already she had attained an overwhelming supremacy in the air. VICKERS SPITFIRE
HAWKER HURRICANE
GLOSTER GLADIATOR
(Fighter)
Claimed to be the fastest standard single-seat fighter in the world, the Spitfire has achieved a tup speed in level flight of 307 mph. It is distinguishable from the Hawker Hurricane Aphter by its elliptical shaped wings. Tapered into the nose is Rolls-Royce Merlin 1,000 h.p. engine. From a button on the control column the pilot operates eight guns, mounted four in each wing. Test flving these machines, Flying Officer Geofrey Quill con- sistently dives them at over 500 m.p.li.
ARMSTRONG
WHITWORTH WHITLEY
(Bomber)
The Whitley is a heavy bomber for carrying large loads. It can be distinguished by the long straight fuselage and the wings with alight taper at the leading edges and sharp taper at the trailing edges. The latest ver- sion has two Rolls-Royce Merlin 1,000 h.p. engines which glue a top speed of 245 m.p.1. Total range is not known. There are multi- gunner turrets in the nose and tail, and 'one which lets down underneath the fuselage
HANDLEY PAGE HAMPDEN (Bomber)
The Hampden is easily recognised because of the peculiar shape of the fuselage. The fore part is deep and narrow-for which reason it was called the "fying suitcase" and the tall assembly is carried on a narrow, taper- ing boom. It can carry a total load of about three tons of bombe, and the maximum range varies according to the load carried-ups to 1,090 miles. Maximum speed at 15,000ft, ia 265 mph., and the economical cruising speed at the same height, 220 m.ph.: The engines. are two Bristol Pegasus 885 h.p. radial en-
(Fighter)
The Hurricane is a brother of the Spitfire, being the only other eight-gun_single-scat fighter at present in use by the R.A.F. The general layout is similar, but the wings are tot so sharply tapered as those of the
Spitfire and the body rather fatter. Top speed is claimed to be over 335 m.ph. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Merlin, and eight guns are mounted in the wings. Despite its high speed, the Hurricane can perform the most startling acrobatics
BRISTOL BLENHEIM
(Bomber)
(Fighter)
The only surviving biplane type among the latest range of machines for the RAF, the Gloster Gauntlet single-seat fighter is TC- markable for its manoeuvrability in the air. A top speed of 225 m.p.h. at 15,000ft, is de- rived from a Bristol Mercury radial engine D! 840 hp. Its armament consists of jour Browning puns. Developed from the earlier Gauntlet, the Gladiator is carlly distinguished, having no axle between the landing wheels, a cockpit covering and only one set of inter- plane" struts on either side of the fuselage
VICKERS WELLINGTON
(Bomber)
平平
These outlines show the first Blenheim type which is now being superseded by an im- proved model whose main visible diference is a longer nose. Both models have two Bristol Mercury enginca. The first type has a maximum speed at 15,000ft. of 285 m.p.h. with a range of 1,200 miles. The later or long-nosed version has a top speed of 205 m.ph, and a range of just under 2,000 miles. Armament consists of a Vickers gun mounted in the port wing and fired by the pilot, and a Lewis gun in the turret amidships, firéd by the radio operator-gunner
WESTLAND LYSANDER (Army Co-operation)
Most easily identifiable of aircraft; because of its distinctive shape, is the Lysander, de- signed for high-speed liaison work and Army co-operation. The wings are set high on the fuselage, with two sets of bracing struts on the fuselage, with two sets of bracing struts to the undercarriage legs. The landing wheels are covered with rather bulbous spate, which also house landing lights. Top speed 229 m.ph, but because of the use of slots and stotted flaps it can fit at 50 m.p.h.
The Wellington is one of the most remarkable heavy bombers in the world. With a military toad it has a maximum range of 3,200 miles. Its great weight-carrying capacity is achieved by means of a patented form of structure consisting of curved metal members cach of which forms a geodetic, taking the shortest path between two points on a curved surface. The result is great strength and lightness of structure weight. With two Bristol Pegasus 980 h.p. engines, the Wellington has a top speed of 205 m.ph. at 17,000ft. Normal cruising speed is 215 m.p.h. Crew varies from four to reven.
FAIREY BATTLE
(Bomber)
A medium bomber monoplane, the Batite te our only single-engined machine of this type. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Merlin. Top #peed at 16,000ft. is 257. m.ph.. Maximum range is approximately 1,000 miles. For re connaissance purpotés a notable feature le the long glass-house' covering erlending from the front of the pilot's cockpit to the gun
