The Aeroplane (1914)

The Aeroplane is a book written by Claude Grahame-White and originally published in 1914. It is a comprehensive guide to the early days of aviation, covering everything from the history of flight to the technical aspects of aircraft design and operation. Grahame-White was a pioneering aviator himself, having been one of the first pilots to fly across the English Channel. He draws on his own experiences as well as those of other aviation pioneers to provide a detailed account of the development of aviation up to that point. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as technical diagrams and explanations of aerodynamics and engine mechanics. It is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
