The Aeroplane: Past, Present, and Future. E-book. Formato PDF Claude Grahame - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Only one who follows events attentively from day to day can now realise the extraordinary rapid strides which aviation is making. This book — and notably such features of it as the list of the world 's airmen and the records of the chief ?ights made — may, we hope, bear testimony to the astonishing growth of ?ying, and particularly to the energy and enthusiasm of those engaged in its development.

Certainly a man who intends to ?y should be consti tutionally sound this point is important. When in an aeroplane, one passes very quickly through the air, and such rapid movement — and also the effect of varying altitudes — entail a certain physical strain. A man with a weak heart might find himself affected adversely by ?ying; While one Whose lungs were not sound might find that his breathing was impeded seriously by a swift passage through the air. More than one fatality, doubtful as to its exact cause, has been attributed to the collapse of a pilot who was not organically sound, or who ascended when in poor health. And here again is an important point. No man, even a normally healthy man, should attempt to pilot a machine in ?ight when he is feeling unwell. In such cases the strain of ?ying, and the effect of the swift motion through the air, may cause a temporary col lapse; and in the air, when a man is alone in a machine, any slight attack of faintness may be sufficient to bring about a fatality.

Several courses are open to one who writes a book about ?ying. One can make it technical, for instance, and so appeal merely to the experts. In this way, one caters for a very limited audience. Or one can make it semi-technical, and endeavour to appeal to experts and to the ordinary individual as well. This I do not regard as a very happy compromise. Or the book may be made frankly non-technical, and so bid for the interest of all those readers who desire a knowledge of ?ying, but who do not wish any large amount of technical information. From this third point of View I have written my book; and I hope that just the ordinary individual, who does not want to be bothered by stacks of facts and rows of figures, will find something in its pages that will really interest him. If he does, I shall feel that my work has been amply repaid. Claude grahame-white.
