About this book
The book is headed Kitecraft and Kite Tournaments by Charles M. Miller. The text says the tailless continues to be the most popular of all the kites, and that it flies in a very light breeze and is so steady in the air. The text says there are several kinds of tailless, but the two stick Eddy Kite seems to be the winner.
Soaring birds are described as attractive kites whose construction is unique, with split bamboo mostly used for the framework. For the ship kites, a piece of pasteboard is used for the hull. The text says that for the model that is thrown like a spear from the hand, wood is used for all parts. The text says the three string bridle is usually two strings above and a longer one below, and that the four string bridle has two short uppers and two long lowers.
