This great Air Race will this year be held in England at the Solent. Members of the Royal Air Force “learn are in Training at Felixstowe, and very encouraging reports have been received as to their progress. France will be competing this year, and has entered three machines, which we hear are capable of great speeds. An eight cylinder engine developing 1,200 h.p. is being made by a French Aero Engine concern for the Race. Portsmouth is arranging a Grand Navy Week, so that visitors to the Schneider Trophy may also have an opportunity of inspecting our latest battle ships and sea-planes.
