Chau-rirrc. inventor of the wooden air-screw. Quite an important advance inaeroplane design was achieved in1913 by a Russian engineer, M. Si-Jcorski, who first conceived the ideaof building aeroplanes of very largesize, driven by several independentmotors and capable of carrying adozen people in a comfortable, heat-ed and lighted cabin. In this coun-try Glenn H. Curtiss has since suc-cessfully produced large seaplanesbased on a similar principle. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MILITARY
