Item description from seller

Octavo, 38 pages, stapled wrappers, old cellophane tape repair to top tear "In this monograph are analyzed the conditions under which pilots make mistakes in a series of laboratory experiments, and the theory is advanced that the tendencies responsible for the errors made in the tests are also responsible for errors in flying which lead to accidents. This is the first contribution of its kind to the solution of a problem on which a great deal of work remains to be done." - Foreword. These experiments began in 1939.

Store description

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera. …
