"This book is primarily intended for non-technical readers; and for student aviators who, called from non-technical occupations, must cram themselves in at short notice with the gist of airplane flying; and who must omit everything except the outstanding fundamentals." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
