A Taube aircraft over French positions.

THE TYPE OF TAUBE WHICH MADE THE FIRST AIR RAIDS ON PARIS<br></p>
This plane, whose outspread tail and rounded wings so closely resemble those of a bird, is too slow to contend with the 1918 type of 125-miles-an-hour machine which is now a commonplace of the Western Front. It is to the latest speedster warplane what the "one-lunger" automobile of fifteen years ago is to the 12-cylinder racer of today. This style airplane still has its uses in the aviation schools, however.
