THE TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY ltll AERONAUTICS IN 1911. FOREIGN PROGRESS. By English, people, at all events, not much pVNV uir is to be derived from looking back upon the aeronautical record of the peat jeer. The world baa witnessed many remarkable feats the science and art of flying hava each made considerable progress the practical value of the aeroplane has been demonstrated a it has never been demonstrated before. But, so far as Knglanri is concerned, even the most optimistic, whether of the public, which has to believe what it is told, or of the expert, whose business it is to know, must regretfully acknowledge that the fair promises of 1910 haw not been fulfilled in 191 1.

Kbknch Enthusiasm v. British Calm. It is the French who have achieved most of the records it is the French who have won the big prises it is the French who hava led the way in treating the asreplsite as a serious instrument of war. For various reasons and by various methods the French still retain their inestimable advantage of an early start. Whether the English will ultimately catch them, as they have caught them in the realm of mo tonus.

matter, at present, of pious opinion. There is, indeed, good reason to hope that they will. We have at least as great scientific knowledge, we have certainly greater ogincering ability, we have equally courageous men. What we lack, apart from experience, enthusiasm that faculty of tha imagination a hu prompts a people like the French to devote Hi aa idea and to shrink from no aacrifices because it believes the idea to be sound. With as tie enthusiasm does not come until the idea lus been shown to pay.

There is little hope for aviation in this country until public opinion believes it to be worth while." Now. if the British public were not preoccupied with politics it would have a serious and legitimate grievance with regard to the maimer in which it has been misled by the greater' number of those who write and speak on aviation. If half that has been asserted were true, flying would already be a recognized means of social intercourse, and the result of every flying competition, as formerly of every motor competition, would be a rush on the part of the public to buy machines of the successful type. Nothing of the sort is the case, and the public shows no sign of rushing at alL The public very prudently, is waiting until flying seems worth doing for the ordinary man. What the ordinary man wants is to be able to competition closed on Asm! 5, the British airman Valentine and Cody also nwjlliiinl the course.

The principal feature of the year, though probably not the most important for the progress of aviation, has bean the prolonged crosscountry flights which have traversed various countries, and especially on the Continent of Europe. Cm March 7 Eugene Renaux flew with a passenger from Paris to the top of the Puy de Dome, a distance of 210 miles, thereby winning the prize of 4.000 offered by M.

The first great international contest of the year, and one which, owing to the aad incident attending its start on May 21, attracted the attention of the whole world, was the flight from. Paris to Madrid. For this flight of 727 miles 23 airmen entered and six started. Only one, the French mechanic Vearinea, succeeded in reaching Madrid, Ins actual time in the air being 12b. ISmin.

and his joanev being performed with only one unpre rnedrtated landing. The death of M. Berteaux, by a monoplane while the airman. Train, was endeavouring to rise above the crowd, drew attention to the necessity of protecting ftpectators, so far as puaafble, from the risks inevitably involved by the flight near them of machines at a moderate height from the ground. A few days later, on May 28.

the start took place of a race from Paris to Turin by way of Rome, a distance of 1,300 miles. Of the 21 competitors who entered 12 started. Several military officers also took part in the portion of the contest lying within French territory. After every kind of misfortune, including bad weather. Naval lieutenant Uonneau, soon to become better known to the British public as "Beaumont," reached Rome (911 miles) in 2L Smin.

He was followed by Garros in 1 'Gli. by Fray, and by Vidart. Frey alone attempted the final stage to Turin, and in dome? so met with a serious accident. Next month came the so called European Circuit, which, starting from Paris on June 18, lasted, owing to unfavourable weather, nearly three weeks. The route, of about 1,000 miles, induded France, Belgium, Holland, and Eng aeddents marred the opening day.

While recognr the good sense of the Royal Aero Club's itude in dealing with the matter, it is impossu to pretend that the fears expressed lest the progress oi aviation should be impeded by this legislation, which has since been adopted try several other countries, have been justified. The Cordon Bennett Aviation Cop was won at Kastchurch for toe United States by Wey mann, who covered the 94 miles at an average speed oi 78 miles an hour. Military Aviation Abroad. For the first time in history toe aeroplane has bean employed in war.

in reoruary, during the Mexican rebellion, machines were used by civilians to obtain information and carry despatches for toe American side. During the military operations in Tripoli Italian officers observation of artillery fire, and some less useful bomb dropping. Both in toe French and in the German manoeuvres aeroplanes were used to a sufficient extent to satisfy the military authorities of their value. The result mav be seen from the fact that while the French Budget estimate lor aeroplane purpose in iiu 80,000. for this year the estimate The total French expenditure on last year was about 700,000.

Germany is expected to spend this year about 480.000. In the French manoeuvres 45 machines were engaged, and a German naval officer who was present reported that they flew in a wind in which no dirigible could have gone out. France, which at the end of 1910 had only 32 machines, will shortly possess 174. She has at present five dirigibles, and will have 11 by There is a flying school at Dobenta, to which 50 officers are attached, and another at Mots and others are projected at ThionviHe and Saerbruek. Germany has 12 dirigibles, hot all of them effective.

Russia has a school at Sevastopol with 23 pilots, of whom 12 took part in manrcovres. She is building three dirigibles. Italy has 15 trained officers and schools at Aviano and elsewhere. She also has three dirigibles. Rumania has eight aeroplanes, Austria only three and two dirigibles.

There are signs ootn in trance and in 304,000. fere lone come to a separate military arm. At present France places in charge of her schools the best men she can get from whatever branch of her military forces. At Chalons, for instance, the chief is a naval captain at Douai, an infantry lieutenant at Saint Cyr, an engineer at tarn pes, a captain of colonial infantry at Biskra, a cavalryman. Fifty officers and 50 non commissioned officers are seconded at a time.

At present 150 officers have taken their Aero Gab certificate. The training consists of (1) two or three months of general theoretical instruction, including ascents in balloons (2) a course of detailed instruction in frying, culminating in the Aero Club certificate (3) a finishing course for picked officers, culminating in the certificate of military airman," and involving cross country flying between points 30 miles apart, reconnaissances, and despatch carrying and dropping (4) methodical training for long journeys. The French recognise that a man may be able to fly and yet not necessarily be of any serious mihtary value. The military airman is therefore trained in observing the operations of all the other arms. As for the nm enmmasanned officers, they are regarded aa chauffeurs, whose duty it is to convey their masters, the officer observers, from place to place, as retired.

The French, rightly, as it would seem, consider that for pro loneed i ininnananfina the officer should confine himself to his proper work, leaving the acrobatic part of the boakssss to a driver of leas exalted rank.
