Aeronautical Classics No. 6 The Flight Of Birds is an influential 1911 English translation of the groundbreaking biomechanical work originally written by the Italian mathematician and physicist Giovanni Alfonso Borelli. Published by the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain and edited by Thomas O'Brien Hubbard and John Henry Ledeboer, this specific volume extracts Borelli's pioneering scientific investigations into aerodynamics. This copy is bound in blue paper covers which do display some fading. There is a slight lean to the spine as well as a little cracking to the internal hinge as well as a previous owner's ink stamp to the verso of the frontispiece. The rest of the pages remain clean. pp.40 + 2. Overall a good copy and a must for any aviation enthusiast.
