The Second Boys' Book of Model Aeroplanes
Produced by James Simmons
"The Second Boys' Book of Model Aeroplanes" by Francis A. Collins is a practical guide to the construction and enjoyment of model aeroplanes, written in the early 20th century. The book follows the advancements in model aircraft design and technology, emphasizing the science behind flight mechanics and the intricacies of building various models. It presumably builds upon concepts introduced in Collins' earlier work, referencing a community of young aviators eager to refine their skills in aeronautics. At the start of this volume, the foreword establishes the rapid growth in knowledge surrounding model aeroplane construction, highlighting significant advancements made within a year. The opening chapters discuss the evolution of model aeroplanes, encouraging young builders to create lightweight and efficient designs while outlining essential construction techniques. Collins provides insights into the mechanics of aerodynamics, the significance of balancing weight and power, and the excitement of participating in model aeroplane tournaments. The text sets the stage for a rich exploration of both the hobby and the scientific principles at play in aviation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
