Description |
English: Aviation in Britain Before the First World War A Dunne biplane on the ground. Note the unsual vee-shaped swept back wings, this shape of wing meant that the aircraft was inherently stable (pilots could safely remove both hands from the controls for significant periods of time). The aircraft was designed by Lt John Dunne with funding from the War Office. Mainly due to the lack of a powerful enough engine the aircraft, which was developed through 1908 in great secrecy at Blair Atholl in Scotland, was only able to fly small distances at a time, because of this funding was stopped. |

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
