Hendon
a suburban town of England outside of London, 8 miles from St. Paul's Cathedral, on the banks of the Brent. Its claim to distinction is the fact that here were located the aerodromes of the first aeroplanes which flew in England, before the World War, making of Hendon the center of the national interest in aeroplane events. Here were conducted the many tests of new-type machines, whose feats added extensively to the general experience in the art of flying.
