From book: Ever since I was a small boy aeroplanes have been my passion. And it must have been during the days of 1916 and 1917 that I fashioned those models of matchbox, cardboard and sticks that were indirectly to determine the course of my whole life. I pass the details of their construction on to you because you may like to know for your own small boy, and I believe that were I to make a model now I could still find it a fascinating toy, even after flying some two thousand hours on real wings.

"Squadron-Leader Tredrey takes the reader with him day-by-day through a three-month's course at the Central Flying School, where R.A.F. instructors are themselves instructed in the 'patter' which they have to hand out to their pupils later on. A book of this kind which conveys so exactly the pilot's own sensations and enthusiasms easily earns its place among the classics of flying." - from back flap of dust jacket which is laid inside back cover. Contents clean and unmarked. Average wear and soiling externally. Binding sound.
