Letort Let7 Airplane
September 21,1918 Scientific America
The second photograph is a front view of the Letort biplane; which, aside from its fantastic stream-line engine nacelles, has several novel features. In the first place, it is a three-seater twin-engined machine intended for photographic and reconnaissance missions. Its planes are back-staggered; that is to say, the upper plane is farther back than the lower one, and the struts rise backward instead of forward or perpendicularly.
