FOREWORD EVER before in the history of the human race has the sky proffered such a thrilling challenge to youth. Our an- cestors fought their valiant battles on land and sea and were victorious. The youth of today has found in the air its frontiers for progress. We have seen how, within a few short years, the airplane has developed into a power- ful creature that rains death and destruction on the weary World below. Yet, we do know with a deep certainty. that a day will come when the hum of an airplane motor will be an integral and indispensable factor in maintaining the peace that enshrouds the world. We do not shrink from our task of taming the air waves. xxx! 4 11
