About this book
Aeroplanes, by James Slough Zerbe, describes itself as "a book of instructions intended to point out the theories of flying, as given by the pioneers". The book also says it "treats of kites, gliders and model aeroplanes, and has an Interesting chapter on the aeroplane and its uses In the great war".
The book says "It is not the aim of the book to teach the art of flying, but rather to show how and why the present machines fly". Chapter I is headed "THEORIES AND FACTS ABOUT FLYING". The book observes that "what are called stream lines do not exist in the fly". A list of word meanings gives, among others, "Expansion. Growing larger; to occupy a greater space" and "Evolution. A gradual change or building up; from a lower to a higher order".
