Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Vol. 27: January, 1923 Although I have been requested by the Council Of this Society to read a paper on the metal construction Of aeroplanes, there are two phases of the subject with which I do not feel prepared to deal. In the first instance, any paper dealing historically with this matter is likely to give rise to controversy which is of neither scientific nor engineering interest, and I propose to leave this aspect severely alone. Secondly, I do not pretend to expound a process Of design. The technique Of this new branch Of the engineering art is still too fluid; while so far as experimental results are concerned it is probable that more have been published than have been digested.

Why did the British, then the leading nation in science and technology, fall far behind in the race to develop the aeroplane before the First World War? Despite their initial advantage, they were overtaken by the Wright brothers in America, by the French and the Germans. Peter Reese, in this highly readable and highly illustrated account, delves into the fascinating early history of aviation as he describes what happened and why. He recalls the brilliant theoretical work of Sir George Cayley, the inventions of other pioneers of the nineteenth century and the daring exploits of the next generation of airmen, among them Samuel Cody, A.V. Roe, Bertram Dickson, Charles Rolls and Tommy Sopwith. His narrative is illustrated with a wonderful selection of over 120 archive drawings and photographs which record the men and the primitive flying machines of a century ago.??As featured on BBC Radio Surrey and in Essence Magazine.
