In this first textbook primarily aimed at the student of man powered flight, the author analyzes the problems of design structure and operation, adding his own theories for production of a practical ‘pedal scooter’.  Specially selected illustrations collected by the AEROMODELLER staff convey a pictorial history of progress and the combination of text, diagrams, and photographs form a (circa 1971) scientific reference work of fascinating reading.  

This 176-page, 6 x 8.5 inch hardcover with dustjacket was published by Model & Allied Publications, England in 1971.  Condition is very good – the dustjacket shows wear, has some damage along its top edge, is slightly ‘sunned/faded along its top, and has a couple of minor stains.  Otherwise, it is tight, bright and clean.  See the accompanying scans to obtain a ‘visual’ on these condition issues as well as to better appreciate just how nice this book is!
