Claude Grahame-White — Edwardian England’s most famous aviator — wrote Learning to Fly when powered flight was eight years old: choosing a school, the first straights and turns, engine failure drill, and the temperament that kept a pupil alive in machines of wood and wire.

It is flight instruction from the era when every lesson was experimental. Download the free EPUB and feel how thin the air once was.
