6 Fighter Development 1915 – French pilot – Roland Garros
Mounted an automatic rifle on aircraft Fired through the propeller To keep from shooting off propeller, the rear of the propeller was armored with steel plates

7 The Steel Deflector Plate Fix
Angled metal guards on the propeller in line with the path of the bullets The guard is a "V" shaped piece of steel "U" shaped bullet "gutter" intended to direct the deflected path of the bullet striking it away from the propeller. sending a ricocheting bullet back into the pilot. bullet striking the plate could create fractures in the propeller causing it to fail.
