http://www.pgdp.net  a"Opportunities in Aviation" by Captain Arthur Sweetser and Lieutenant Gordon Lamont is a practical guide on the burgeoning field of aviation written in the early 20th century, shortly after World War I. The book explores the advancements, training practices, and future prospects of flying, emphasizing that aviation is not just for a select few but can be achieved by the average person. It aims to dissect the socio-economic possibilities of aviation in various spheres such as military, commercial, and personal travel.  At the start of the work, the authors provide an overview of how World War I spurred significant advancements in aviation technology, transforming it from a plaything of daredevils into a serious military asset. They highlight the evolution of aircraft during the war, touching on innovations that enhanced scouting, bombing, and aerial combat. The introduction explains that with proper training, nearly any person can become a competent pilot, and it addresses misconceptions about the field, setting the stage for discussions on pilot training, safety, and the vital infrastructure needed to support aviation's growth in the post-war world.
