BRITAIN HAS SECRET All) SUP
LONDON, May 5? The Times prints
this morning a statement denying the
government's alleged apathy toward
aviation. It says that Capt. J. W.
Dunne, of the Royal Engineers, after
several years experience, made an
aeroplane that was superior to the
Wright's machine, and in secret ex
periments in Scotland, two years ago
succeeded in making a flight of 12
miles in a circular course, in which
lie proved beyond a doubt, that in
efiiciency and ease of control, the
Wrights had been outdone. That was
the reason that the war office, says
the Times, has made no deal with the
Wrights.
Dunne's invention is a bi plane. In
construction it differs from the aero
planes already known.
