Overview
The motorless Airplane, i.e. the Glider or Sail-Plane, is steadily growing in popularity, and is, in the truest sense of the word, the flying sport of youth.

This book represents the collective results of the writers' experiments since 1921 in motorless flight, and particularly in gliding, related in a way most likely to be useful to others.  In flying, more than in anything, every experience and triumph individually won by hard endeavor should be triumph and experience won for all.  Its aim is to state as clearly as possible all the beginner ought to know of Gliding and Gliding Machines.  The theories it contains are explained in such a manner as to be easily understood.  The finest airmen are often hopelessly bad mathematicians and Flying as a Sport should, as far as possible, be made easy for everybody. - Fritz Stamer and Alexander Lippisch

I Can Print This For You
Let me know if you want a printed and bound version of this free downloads. Sometimes it is nice to have a printed version in hand - rather than a digital version to read only at your computer. I can print it on 8.5 x 11" paper, double-sided, using my color laser printer, and bind it with clear plastic covers and a "VeloBind" binder for $30. The finished product looks great.
