Excerpt from The Book of the Sky: A Résumé of Personal Experience and ObservationSince the advent of flying with its modern safety, convenience, and extensive possibilities, the aerial world becomes more important and interesting to mankind. It is believed that this little volume, which touches upon so many aspects of the sky and upon what may be seen and felt in cloudland, will interest the general reader whether he is one who flies in reality or would fly on the wings of his imagination or would be content merely to admire the sky and to learn its meanings.By intermingling the two viewpoints, namely, that of the earthly observer and that of the aerial traveler, it is believed the wonders of cloudland become more easily visualized, recognized, and understood. By combining with this plan a popular treatment throughout, it is hoped that this little volume will be entertaining and instructive to the general reader as well as to those who have a more specific interest in the sky and in the aerial world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
