"Model Aeroplanes" by F. J. Camm is a practical handbook on model aircraft construction written in the early 20th century. This manual covers various types of model airplanes such as monoplanes, biplanes, and even a chapter dedicated to building a model airship. Its primary focus is on the engineering principles, construction methods, and practical tips for aspiring builders and enthusiasts interested in aerodynamics and model design. The opening of "Model Aeroplanes" introduces readers to the foundational concepts of flight, beginning with the essential question of how airplanes fly. It illustrates the principles of lift, gravity, and the balance of forces using relatable comparisons, such as kites. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding the forces acting on flying objects, providing practical insights into the mechanics of a model airplane's performance. Following this introduction to basic aerodynamics, the book promises comprehensive guidance on constructing various types of model aircraft, catering to both novices and experienced hobbyists.
