520 _a"Learning to Fly in the U.S. Army: A Manual of Aviation Practice" by E. N. Fales is a manual focused on aviation practice written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a concise guide for student aviators, especially those from non-technical backgrounds, who must quickly absorb the essential principles of flying. The text aims to equip readers with the foundational knowledge necessary to understand and operate airplanes, highlighting crucial topics while omitting overly technical details. The opening of the manual begins with a transcriber's note and then dives into the book's preface, indicating its intended audience of non-experts and student aviators. Fales sets the stage by acknowledging the vast literature on aeronautics, while emphasizing the need for a streamlined resource that includes only the critical fundamentals for effective learning. He references the historical evolution of aviation, laying the groundwork for the subsequent chapters that will cover topics such as the types of military airplanes, principles of flight, and operational guidelines for aspiring pilots. This concise introduction highlights the educational focus of the book, making it a valuable resource for those looking to gain a quick yet thorough understanding of aviation from a practical perspective.
