HOW TO FLY A PLANE by H. P. Oldham

HOW TO FLY A PLANE

By

Publisher: Waverley House

This is the first book I happen to have seen which not only provides what amounts to a concentrated correspondence course in flying, becoming an amateur pilot, but meets the beginner halfway, by telling him what his feelings will be at each step, starts with ground work, describes function of parts of plane, of instrument board, then goes on to instruction, signals sequence, starting and landing, handling the engine, air work, spins -- the whys and wherefores -- take offs and landings, solo flying, cross country flying, aerobatics. Based on course prescribed by the C.A.A.
