EDITOR’S PREFACE

This is a practical handbook on the principles, constructional details and methods of building model aeroplanes, written by a well-known model aeroplane designer and builder. It deals with every part of a machine and describes a number of different types, including monoplanes, biplanes, collapsible machines, tractor monoplanes, hydro-monoplanes, aeroplanes driven by compressed air, etc., etc. The concluding chapter explains how to build a model airship, and, as in the case of all the others, is based on the results of practical experience. Readers in need of further information on the subject should address their inquiries to “Work,” La Belle Sauvage, London, E.C., through whose columns (but not by post), assistance will be gladly given.
