E5757 was delivered to 2 Sqn of the Australian Flying Corps. 2 Sqn officially 68 Sqn in the Royal Flying Corps to avoid confusion with The RFC's 2 Sqn. The Australians never accepted the RFC number and it was dropped early in 1918. The state library captioned the photo as Egypt, where 2 Sqn was formed in 1916. However it was on the Western Front when it received SE-5As at the end of 1917. Operated from airfields in France and Belgium. Squadron stayed in Europe until 1919.

The second and last example of Howard Hughes' XF-11, first flown by him on 5 April 1947 after he had recovered from crashing the first one. The second aircraft did not have contra-rotating propellers. A long-range reconaissance aircraft, the XF-11 competed against the four-engined Republic XF-12 Rainbow but neither was put in production. The F for photo reconnaissance designation was changed to R in September 1947. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

VH-URL was involved in a fatal accident accident on December 5, 1935 when it crashed into a tent while attempting a forced landing at Crescent Head, NSW. A woman in the tent was killed and -URL wrecked. The aircraft was rebuilt. Impressed into the RAAF in 1940 as A7-82 and scrapped in 1944. The DH.60G III was powered by an inverted Gipsy III engine which made it look at first glance like a DH.82 Tiger Moth. However, it retained the straight upper wing of earlier DH.60s.

Formerly H-NADR (c/n 4992), an F.VIIa. Converted to F.VIIa/3m when chartered by American publisher Van Lear Black with the registration changed to H-NADP because Black had previously used F.VIIa H-NADP (4990) for a return flight to Batavia. F.VIIa/3m H-NADP (4992) used for an aborted flight to Cape Town in May 1928. Afterwards converted to F.VIIb/3m with new c/n 5105. To Black as G-AADZ 1 February 1929.

A great passenger view is maybe not so great if you suspect your pilot can't see a thing! The Farman F.120 family included aircraft with one, two, three and four engines and if you think the quadrimoteur is ugly, check out the trimotor F.120. Lignes Aériennes Farman, officially named Société Générale des Transports Aériens (SGTA) operated a Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam service. Of interest in the background is the size of the twin-engined Fokker F.VIII, on the right, compared to the famous F.VII. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives
