Abstract
THE recent order of the War Office suspending the use of monoplane flying machines for military purposes has led to the renewal, in the daily Press, of a discussion of the old riddle, “Which is the better, the monoplane or the biplane?” When Bleriot crossed the Channel, the daily papers rang with the praises of the mono-plane; now everyone favours the biplane, and there is a danger lest the monoplane may be con-demned for faults not necessarily attributable to the mere fact that it is a monoplane.
