a small aeroplane, with a propellor driven by foot pedals, Herr Hoffman flew 426 yards in 34.2 seconds at Frankfurt-on-Main to-day.

The machine is the invention of two young engineers of the Junker works at Dessau, Herr Franz Villinger and Herr Helmut Hessler. It measures 30% metres across the wings, and the pro- pellor measures 1% metres.

Great importance is attached to the feat by experts of the German Air Force who were present.

They point out that machines provided with pedal propellors would be able to escape from dangerous slips back into, the wind.

With the same apparatus Herr Dunnbeil in 1935 covered distances of 250 and 210 yards at a height of about three feet, and was awarded £250 by the Frankfurt Polytechnic Society.
