FIRST REVIEWS:

=C. G. G. in the AEROPLANE:= "One hopes that the Subaltern
Flying Officer will appreciate the gift which the author has
given him out of his own vast store of experience, for the book
contains the concentrated knowledge of many expensive years in
tabloid form, or perhaps one should say in condensed milk form,
seeing that it is easy to swallow and agreeable to the taste,
as well as wholesome and nourishing. And, besides the young
service aviator, there are thousands of young men, and women
also, now employed in the aircraft industry, who will appreciate
far better the value of the finicky little jobs they are doing
if they will read this book and see how vital is their work to
the man who flies."

=THE FIELD:= "Entirely different from any other text-book on
the subject, not merely in its form, but in its capacity to convey
a knowledge of the principles and practice of flying. Undoubtedly
it is the best book on its subject."

=THE UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE:= "Should be in the hands of every
person interested in aviation."

=THE OUTLOOK:= "As amusing as it is instructive."

=THE MORNING POST:= "Should be read and re-read by the would
be and even the experienced pilot."
