Oblong quarto, viii, 94, [2] (publisher's advertisements) pages with 24 line illustrations, 36 full-page plans, 2 graphs and a page of rib ordinates.
Flush-cut quarter cloth and papered boards lettered on the front panel); paper on the sides a little discoloured (from the production glue) and slightly chipped; minor signs of handling; a very good copy.
One of the 'How to build Aeroplanes' Series.

The methods described in its manufacture are sound and simple'.
