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 Resorve Flect of 133 ships, including battleships, aircraft-carriers, cruisers, submarines and destroyers, were reviewed by H.M. the King. Only part of the fleet:

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 & 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 leaves, 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-seated of vested interests must quake when the Fuehrer speaks-and the Fuehrer himself, be it noted, smokes littlo 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. Strangè odours may arise, and strange tastes be produced in the mouth, but with every suffering whiff they will be able to reflect that they have dealt one more blow lat 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

(Fighter)

Claimed to be the fastest standard single-acat Aghter in the world, the Spitfire has achieved a top speed in level flight of 387 m.p.h. It is distinguishable from the Ifawker Hurricane fighter by its elliptical shaped winga. Tapered into the nose is a Rolls-Royce Merlin 1,000 h.p. engine. From button on the control column the pilot operates eight guns, mounted four In cock

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 slight taper at the leading edges and sharp taper at the trailing edger. The latest ver- sion has two Rolls-Royce Merlin 1,000 h.p. engines which give a top speed of 245 m.ph. 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 maaily recognized because of the peculiar shape of the fuselage. The fore part is deep and narrow--for which reason it toas called the "fying suitcase" and the tait assembly is carried on a narrow, taper ing boom. It can carry a total load of about the tons of bombs, and the maximum ranga' varies according to the load carried up to 1,090 miles. Maximum speed at 15,000ft. 205 mph, and the economical cruising speed- at the same height, 220 m.p.h. The engines are two Bristol Pegasus 835 hp. radial eTAY gines.:

HAWKER HURRICANE

(Fighter)

The Hurricane is a brother of the Spitfire, being the only other eight-gun_single-scat The Aghter at present in use by the R.A.F. general layout is similar, but the wings are not so sharply tapered.as those of the Spitfire and the body rather faster. Top speed is claimed to be over 335 m.p.h. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Merlin, and eight guns are mounted in the wing. Despite its high

speed, the Hurricane can perform the most startling aerobatics

BRISTOL BLENHEIM

--(Bomber}

GLOSTER GLADIATOR

(Fighter)

The only surviving biplane type among the latest range of machines for the R.A.F., the Gloster Gauntlet single-seat fighter lý re 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 of 840 h.p. Its armament consists of four Browning guns. Developed from the earlier Gauntlet, the Gladiator is easily 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

These outlines show the first Blenheim type which is now being superseded by an im- proved model whose main visible difference Both models have two is a longer nose. Bristol Mercury engines. The first type has a maximum speed at 15,000ft. of 285 m.pl. with a range of 1,200 miles. The later or long-nosed version has a top speed of 295 m.p.. 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, fired by the radio operator-gunner

WESTLAND LYSANDER (Army Co-operation)

Most easily identifiable of aircraft, because of ita distinctive shape, is the Lysander, de- signed for high-speed liation sporje and Army co-operation. The wings are high on the fuselage, with two acts of bracing struls on the fuselage, with two sets of bracing struts the undercarriage legs. The landing wheels are covered with rather bulbois spate, which also house landing lights. Top speed La 229 m.p.h., but because of the use of slote and slotted taps it can fly at 50 mp.

The Wellington le one of the most remarkable heavy bombers in the world. With a military load it has a maximum range of 3,200 miles. Its great weight-carrying capecliy is achieved by means of a patented form of structure consisting of curved metal members each of which forms a grodctic, 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 080 hp. engines, the Wellington has a top speed of 205 m.p.h. at 17,00071. Normat cruising speed is. 215 m.ph. Crew varies from four to seven,

Maximum. range is approximately 1,000 miles. For re- connaissance purposes a notable feature is the long "glass-house" covering extending from the front of the pilot's cockpit, to the gun mounting in the rear seat
