DEADLIEST PLANES $2,000,000 Contracts Are Let Heralding New Day in Aerial Warfare. ‘The beginning of & new day in aerial | warfare is heralded by the signing of contracts totaling approximately $2.-| 000,000 for new equipment for the Army Air Corps, which will bring into existence the most deacly aerial wea- pons the country has seen, of types en- tirely new to military aviation. ‘Tremendously powerful two-seater pursuit planes which draw upon the | experience of high-speed civil aircraft designers to gain superior perform- | ance, low-wing attack planes which | carry bombs in internal bomb bays and | guns in the landing gear streamlining, | “gull-wing” observation planes of great | speed, fast twin-motored long-range | reconnaissance planes and new twin- | motored bombardment monoplanes are | ‘I included among the types new to mili- | | tary aviation in the United States. | Latest Designs. | All the tricks of aviation design ‘whlch have been worked out by de- signers in giving this country first place in-high-speed air transport have | been applied to the new fighting planes | to give the aerial Army planes the like of which the world has never seen |~ The $2,000,000 orders will provide for 1100 of the most powerful radial air- cooled engines yet built, for use in | the Army's big bombardment planes, and for 53 fighting planes of various | types for use in the combat squadrons. ‘The largest single order went to the Douglas Aircraft Co., Santa Monica, Calif,, calling for a total of 35 observa- tion.and light bombardment planes, complete with spare parts, at a con- tract price totaling $718.875. | _Eighteen planes are of the standard | observation type and are for use in the National Guard observation squadrons. { Pive of the observation planes are to |be of the new high-wing “gull’ type. | These planes are sald to be faster than any observaton types ever produced in | this country and are unique in appear- ance. The main monoplane wing level | is slightly higher than the fuselage, | but in the center the wing dips grace- | fully, merging into the fuselage, so as to give the pilot the greatest possible visibility. Five Planes Revolutionary. Five more of the planes are listed as “observation planes,” but they are of even more revolutionary type. They are to b2 twin-engined monoplanes de- | signed for long-range reconnaissance, operating at high altitudes and great speeds. Powered with chemically- | cooled” engines built into the wings, | they are virtually “flying wings,” with | every possible portion of the construc- tion built into or merging with big monoplane wings to reduce air resist- ence and increase speed. These big planes will go out into the service squadron for gruelling tests in the field, which may result in the creation of a | distinct type of combat squadron un- | like any now in the service. | _Seven light bombardment planes, also ordered from Douglas, will closely resemble in appearance the twin-mot- ored reconnaissance planes, being of the | twin-motored flying-wing type. They | are to be fast, capable of striking hard, (unexpected blows at enemy strong | points and either running or fighting | their way back to safety. They will | carry heavy armament and will be | able to put up a stiff fight even against | hostile pursuit planes. The second largest order, awarded to the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Co, Hartford, Conn. is for 100 engines, |at a cost of $612,854. | Thirteen attack planes will be pro- i vided by the Curtiss Aercplane & Motor Co.. Inc, of Garden City, N. Y, for $427,615. This order marks the first ‘mnlnr step toward increasing the hit- | ting power of the attack squadrons, whose function is the destruction of ground trcops, gun batteries, trains and field strong points. Machine Guns on Wheels. Drawing upon the experience of Capt. Frank M. Hawks, Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh and others with fast low-wing monoplanes, the Army has obtained in the A-8 an entirely new type of fighting plane; a low-wing type of terrific speed and capable of ‘frightful offensive power. It is the first attack plane to be built with an inclosed bomb bay, | the bombs being carried within the | fuselage instead of under the wings as in present types. The bombs, for the first time, are carried nose down in racks of a special type to prevent the bombs striking on their sides when re- leased from the exceedingly low alti- tudes at which attack planes must fly. The landing wheels are inclosed | in_streamlined housings, which also | contain two machine guns, aimed by | pointing the plane. These planes will | carry two men and are expected to be the ‘most deadly fighters for their size | ever built. ‘They will be powered with | fluid-cooled motors of an improved | type, delivering 660 horsepower. | ~‘Another important departure is found in a contract awarded to the Detroit | Aircraft Corpcration for five two-seater pursuit planes, at a cost of $172,609. | These planes will go out into the | squadrons on a service test basis and | have been designated as the “YP-24* [type. They mark the first military venture of the Detroit corporation, which has become famous for fast all. JanStAlS =SS pORt Mplaries’ BAMITIEN poeed ranges above the 200-mile-per-hour class.

Miss Alberta Burch of Colmar Manor, Md., and Miss Elsa Owings of the 2100 block Pennsylvania avenue board the carriage in which Gen. U. 8. Grant rode to his inauguration in 1873. RELIC of the past, harkening back | to the days before Presidents- | elect rode to their inaugura- tions_in expensive automobiles, will be given a fitting role in | the local participation in the 1932 | George Washington Bicentennial Cele- bration, when the carriage in which | Gen. U. S. Grant approached the Cap- | itol on March 4, 1873, to take the oath ' as President, will be wheeled into the streets once more. Reposing high on its supple springs this historic conveyance has remained for more than half a century in the loft of the firm of carriage builders which constructed it at Grant's own order nearly 60 years ago. 1t is a valued possession of Fearson . Meeks, grandson of Samuel J. Meeks, who established the carriage works bearing his name in 1872, just opposite the present, location of the firm at 622 G street. ‘The carriage, one of the early com- missions executed by the elder Meeks, has been offered to the District of | Columbia Bicentennial Commission for use during next_year's ceremontes. It has been decided to use it only July 4 in connection with the Home-Coming day ceremonies, when native sons and daughters will be called together on home soil for an old-time get-together. A quaint survival as contrasted with modern modes of travel, the old- fashioned carriage has lines that sug- gest the smart turnouts of early post Civil War days. Built in_the style of equipages associated with “coaching parties” up to the turn of the century. it is a vehicle of a kind now rarely | seen in this country, but not unfamiliar in_England. The carriage is designed to carry two persons only, with the coachman’s box directly in front. The rear seat was protected by a folding top. and the conveyance was entered by two 1 steps, one directly above the other. That it was Gen. Grant's inaugura- tion carriage is supported by tradition —_— | es Fitted Examined DR. CLAUDE S. SEMONES Eyesight Specialist Phone Natlonal 0721 409410 McLachlen Bldr., 10th and G Sts.
