Function

According to the preface of the book, the author's intention is the following: " I have tried to give them (the readers) as much up-to-date and correct knowledge on how and why an aeroplane flies as is possible without the use of mathematics. " Selon l'avant-propos du livre, l'intention de l'auteur était le suivant d'écrire un oeuvre littéraire mise à jour pour l'époque pour expliquer comment et pourquoi un avion volait sans se pencher sur les grands calculs mathématiques.

Technical

The book itself does not hold much technical significance. However, its importance lies in the fact it belonged first-hand to someone who served in the Canadian armed forces. Le livre en tant que tel n'a pas d'importance technique. Cela dit, son importance est dans le fait qu'il appartenait de première main à quelqu'un qui était dans les Forces armées canadiennes.
