BUILDING BI-PLANES

Australia has been supplying

men, ships, horses, equipment,
and supplies in doing her part in
the great war. There has been
wonderful activity throughout the
whole Commonwealth with a view
to winning through both so far
as the war on land and sea is
concerned, and also the com-
mercial war which aims at pre-
venting Germany -from regaining
her position in the world’s trade.
Australia is building ships locally
and’ has arranged for the estab-
lishment of a government arsenal.
The latest development is the lo-
cal construction of bi-planes. For
the first time an Australian built
aeroplane engine attached to an
Australian bi-plane was recently
tested in actual flight at the Com
monwealth Aviation Sehool. A B.
Kk. machine, of Australian con
struction, was flown with a 70 h.
p. Renault aerial motor, manu-
factured in Melbourne workshops.
This engine was built some little
time ago, when the Defence De-
partment colled for tenders for
Australia.
