    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Aviation From the Ground Up' is a comprehensive guide to the science and practice of flight during the transformative Golden Age of Aviation. Written by Lieutenant G. B. Manly, this instructional manual provides a detailed look into the technical and practical aspects of early 20th-century aeronautics. The work serves as an essential primer, covering the fundamental principles of aerodynamics, the theory of flight, and the complexities of aircraft construction.Through its pages, the author explores the intricate mechanics of internal combustion engines, the nuances of meteorology, and the critical role of navigation and flight instruments.
