The first part relates to the fundamental principles of flight; the second part ist concerned with practical accomplishment; it refers in detail to the work of certain notable pioneers like Lilienthal and the Wrights, and also has chapters on modern development, as demonstrated, for example, at the military aeroplane trials of 1912. The third part is mainly historical, and is placed in this order so that the significance of the "milestones" may more readily be appreciated. The fourth part is a collect of appendices that have no exact sequence or proper place in the bode of the book. (From preface) Please note: the book(s) has/have more than 1 kg, therefore shipping cost outside Germany can be higher than indicated by Abebooks/ZVAB. Please ask for the exact cost before you order.
