Some Aviation History.—The extraordinarily rapid progress made in aviation is strikingly illustrated in the three pictures reproduced here. At left is Mr. A. W. Schaef’s Wellington-built aeroplane which made a series of short flights at Lyall Bay in 1911. At right is a “close-up” of the machine, with Mr. Schaef at the controls. The picture in the centre is that of the Gloster-Grebe machine, which “zoomed’’ over Rongotai on Saturday at something like 120 miles an hour.
