The Avro “Aldershot” Bomber

The accompanying illustration, depicting the Avro “Aldershot” bomber which is fitted with a 1000 hp. Napier “Cub” engine as compared to the well-known Avro 504K two-seater fitted with the 80 hp. Gnome engine, was received by AVIATION from Leonard Bridgman, the able staff artist of The Aeroplane. Mr. Bridgman’s wash drawings of aircraft, which frequently appear in the columns of our London contemporary, whence they have often found their way into our own columns, have the rare quality of showing airplanes in flight as they actually appear to the trained eye, that is, as living beings rather than as inanimate objects hanging in the sky in an unconvincing manner.
