One of the greatest problems of the day is to determine how aircraft can be turned to the best advantage in the service of the country. The war is over, but the days for the use of aircraft in the carrying of passengers, goods, and mails, and for the convenience and pleasure of the private user have only just begun. Mr. Berry's book deals with the last year or two of aviation, the present position and what may be expected in the future. Already passenger and mail services are being established, and it will probably not be long before many men will be using aeroplanes in the way they now use cars, only they will be able to go where cars cannot, and at a much quicker pace. Mr. Berry's book is for the general reader. He tells him what he will want to know, takes him through actual flights, explains engines, controls, construction, cross country and overseas flying, laws, rules and traffic regulations, what cost of services will be, and how mail services already established are working. Everything that a man wants to know who expects to fly on his own account or who hopes to be taken up as a passenger will be found here. The book is particularly timely in view of the enormous interest now being taken by the press in the subject of the future uses of aircraft.
