Four of these were flying-boats, two were seaplanes, and the other was a double-propellered biplane. Needless to say, the Ross boys and Bob Giddings and his father were present to see the machines off. They had arrived in the big automobile of the publisher, and were greatly interested in every detail of the departure.
The large naval flying-boats, for instance, describe a circle two thousand feet in diameter for each turnover it is almost obvious that not much stunting is done on these boats. A small scout or sporting plane can loop and come out higher than it went in. There is certain value in practising such maneuvers if the machine will permit it. In battle they are, of course, essential.
There is the understanding that the United States has already taken the lead in naval aviation, not in quantity, to be sure, but in quality and efficiency, as to which the presence of foreign experts studying our new improvements may be regarded as confirmatory evidence. The Navy Department now has an aircraft factory of its own at Philadelphia, and there flying-boats are now being turned out.
