This book covers all phases of model building, using clear drawings; basic principles, materials, getting aloft, rebuilding a wreck, designing from your own ideas. Complete plans and instructions are given for a free-flight model and a control model. The assembly in one volume of authoritative information on design and construction will be invaluable to youngsters who through model building acquire their first practical knowledge of aerodynamics. Keith Laumer served in the U.S. Air Force from 1953-56, and later with the Foreign Service. He has made model aircraft since boyhood.
