_A TIMELY AND IMPORTANT BOOK_
The New Traffic (Aircraft)
By W. H. BERRY
Editor of _The Car_ and _Aviation_ and Author of "Aircraft in War and
Commerce," "Fighting Aeroplanes," &c.
_In cr. 8vo, bound with frontispiece and a wrapper in colours, +3s.+ +6d.+
net._
One of the greatest problems of the day is to determine how aircraft can
be turned to the best advantage in the service of the country. The war
is over, but the days for the use of aircraft in the carrying of
passengers, goods, and mails, and for the convenience and pleasure of
the private user have only just begun. Mr. Berry's book deals with the
last year or two of aviation, the present position and what may be
expected in the future. Already passenger and mail services are being
established, and it will probably not be long before many men will be
using aeroplanes in the way they now use cars, only they will be able to
go where cars cannot, and at a much quicker pace. Mr. Berry's book is
for the general reader. He tells him what he will want to know, takes
him through actual flights, explains engines, controls, construction,
cross country and overseas flying, laws, rules and traffic regulations,
what cost of services will be, and how mail services already established
are working. Everything that a man wants to know who expects to fly on
his own account or who hopes to be taken up as a passenger will be found
here. The book is particularly timely in view of the enormous interest
now being taken by the press in the subject of the future uses of
aircraft.
