ABOUT
An essential beginner's manual for early aviation enthusiasts and model makers.
W.G. Aston provides one of the early, technically grounded guides to designing and building model aircraft, written in a clear, methodical style characteristic of pre war aeromodelling literature.
He explains the fundamental aerodynamic principles—lift, drag, stability, and balance—and shows how these translate into practical structural choices for different types of models, from simple gliders to more ambitious powered designs.
Includes monochrome images, illustrations, diagrams and vintage adverts.
