A very good untechnical survey of the state of aviation immediately prior to World War. In this respect the two chapters 'Aerial Warfare' and 'Twenty Years Hence' are particularly prescient. Illustrated by line drawings and 16 black and white plates. The book formed part of the 'Romance of Reality' series edited by Ellison Hawks.
