Excerpt from How to Fly
The United States Government wants men for its flying corps and you can be one of them.
To be an airman in time of war is not only less dangerous than fighting in the trenches but it is far more exciting, and, besides, it puts you in the front rank to win honor and glory.
Though it is not hard to learn to fly, there are but few who can handle an aeroplane at the present time; hence to be a pilot now means in a literal sense that you are a superman, for you are above your earth-bound fellows, at least when you are winging your way through cosmic space.
Now you may or may not know it, but the aeroplane is the speed machine of today.
It has been highly developed to meet the exacting and rigorous conditions imposed by the present war, and when the great conflict is over manufacturers will direct their energies toward supplying the need for sporting and commercial machines.
