Description: A book intended for the younger reader, although we would wince today at the sub-title that it was for boys only.
The majority of the book was evidently written before World War One, with only the final chapter 'Aircraft in the War' being added after the start of that conflict and taking the reader up to the 'Konigsberg' operations in East Africa and Warneford's shooting down of the LZ.37.  Nevertheless it is a good summary of pre-war aviation and a re-working of the author's previous book 'All About Airships'.
Table of contents: title: 22 chapters and numerous line drawings and black-and-white photographs.
