MYSTERY SPEED
FIVE MILES A MINUTE It will be possible to reach Brighton from London in ten minutes on the new mystery supermarine Napier S 5 and Gloster seaplanes, which have been built to represent Great Britain in the Schneider Cup race at Vienna in September. Each, it is anticipated, will be capable of a speed of five miles a minute. These racing planes, which have, been referred to as “flying bullets,” are fitted with secret engines of enormous power, but with weight reduced to an absolute, minimum. The machines will be ready for preliminary tests next month.
