Title: Aeronautics circa 1917
Post by: FLS on June 09, 2011, 03:52:49 PM

Here's a link to a manual of aviation practice from 1917. It also covers rigging the aircraft. It turns out that they did know that the top wing decreased the lift of the wing below it because someone had measured the pressure differences. It's an interesting read.
