“There is much in the book to interest the reader, but whether he will glean much knowledge from it is questionable. However, as the purpose of the compilers, apparently, was just that of arousing interest, the book may be considered reasonably successful.”

“Altogether the book, to which but scant justice can be done here, is full of interest and instruction, and the Aero club of America deserves high praise for getting together so much that is fairly authoritative on a subject of such importance.”

“We cannot say that the editor’s notes and comments on the journals are instructive or much to the point. Even the journals themselves will disappoint the reader who expects anything that can compare with Colonel Hawker’s diaries.”
