ABOUT
F. J. Camm delivers one of the early, authoritative all round guides to model aviation.

Written with the clarity and precision that characterised his technical handbooks, the book introduces beginners and intermediate builders to the fundamentals of aeroplane design—lift, stability, balance, and structural layout—while keeping the explanations practical and firmly tied to workshop realities.

Camm covers construction methods, materials, tools, and the logic behind building strong, lightweight airframes. He also includes guidance on trimming, powerplants, and the behaviour of different model types in flight.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, drawings and diagrams, includes vintage adverts.
