Aerial Locomotion
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Aerial Locomotion by E. H. Harper and Allan Ferguson was first published in 1911. The volume presents a statement of the technical principles underlying aeronautics. An introduction by G. H. Bryan is also included.
