Prefaceto express its thanks to Mr. ^\. A. Kiiiiilit for the information furnishedby him on riggino- and alignment of ])lanes. These men are instructorsin the U. S. Army School of Military Aeronautics, Ohio State University.It is hoped that this book will assist the student aviator and the aeromechanic in getting one step nearer their goals as efficient and experiencedunits in the U. S. Air Service, and if it accomplishes this result theAirplane Engineering Depai-tment will feel amply repaid for its effortsin bringing it forth.Dayton, Ohio, IT. S. A., July 1, 1918.
