The latest production of Captain Jas. V. Martin, who will be remembered for his flying at Hendon previous to the War, and who for some years has been at work in the U.S.A. The machine includes several novel features: a folding chassis, K bar cellule truss, wing end ailerons, shock-absorber rudder, and a rubber hinge closing the gap between the fuselage and the rudder.
