Model Flying Machines
Transcriber's Note
This book was transcribed from scans of the original found at Google Books. There was no book cover image, so I made one by enlarging a black and white picture of the book from an advertisement found in another Cole & Morgan title and tried to make it look presentable, including adding color. The author uses a variant spelling of the word fuselage which I have left as is.
