FIRST REVIEWS:
C. G. G. in the AEROPLANE: "One hopes that the Subaltern Flying Officer will appreciate the gift which the author has given him out of his own vast store of experience, for the book contains the concentrated knowledge of many expensive years in tabloid form, or perhaps one should say in condensed milk form, seeing that it is easy to swallow and agreeable to the taste, as well as wholesome and nourishing. And, besides the young service aviator, there are thousands of young men, and women also, now employed in the aircraft industry, who will appreciate far better the value of the finicky little jobs they are doing if they will read this book and see how vital is their work to the man who flies."
THE FIELD: "Entirely different from any other text-book on the subject, not merely in its form, but in its capacity to convey a knowledge of the principles and practice of flying. Undoubtedly it is the best book on its subject."
THE UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE: "Should be in the hands of every person interested in aviation."
THE OUTLOOK: "As amusing as it is instructive."
THE MORNING POST: "Should be read and re-read by the would be and even the experienced pilot."
