Abstract
THIS volume is yet another added to the spate of publications dealing with the several branches of aeronautical sciences from the semi-popular outlook. It is not easy to see exactly what type of reader the author envisaged when writing this. It is not the ordinary popular descriptive book, as it does not link up with aircraft by giving photographs of appropriate machines, but on the other hand its technical aspect is so elementary that it can scarcely appeal to anyone with any pretence to the elements of aeronautical knowledge.
