Description
Excerpt from Aviation: Its Principles, Its Present and Future
IN the following pages the author has endeavoured to accurate description of the construction and of balloons and aeroplanes in simple language.
He hopes that the matter which he has produced will be of interest and of service to the many men and women who are so intensely interested in Aviation matters. Whenever an aeroplane appears in the neighbourhood of any town, practically the whole town comes out to meet it, and is eager in its questions of the aviator and his mechanics. The author hopes that the matter contained in this book will enable those who see an aeroplane, or a balloon, for the first time to understand its working, to recognise its different parts and their uses, and to follow the different manoeuvres in the air, on alighting, and on the ground.
He also hopes that it will answer as a primer for the student of Aviation. The author has purposely avoided mathematics and explanations other than such as can be embodied in simple language. He hopes, however, that the student will find this book a good introduction to heavier books on the subject.
