Molloy has given us a full course in the operation and maintenance of airplanes that were just on the cusp of moving from wood-and-canvas construction to metal-frame aircraft. This was an era of very hand-on maintenance. Anyone that could fix a car could repair, or even build, an airplane. There are also a handful of "extra" volumes of related information from this era.
