Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition of this important First World War aviation manual, published in London by Temple Press in 1918 during the formative year of the Royal Air Force. Written by Flight-Commander W. G. McMinnies, with an introduction by Major-General W. S. Brancker, illustrations by Flight-Lieutenant E. L. Ford, and a chapter on the medical aspects of aviation by H. Graem Anderson. Practical Flying was intended as a comprehensive course of contemporary flight instruction, covering the theory and practice of flight, engines, lessons in the air, solo flight, map reading, cross-country flying, advanced flying and aerobatics, night flying, instructional methods, and the medical aspects of aviation. It was published as the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service were being merged into the newly created Royal Air Force. The volume is extensively illustrated with period diagrams and instructional material and concludes with a substantial section of contemporary aviation-related advertisements. A folding map was issued with this edition; presence of that map has not been verified in this copy from the photographs shown.
