a valuable guide for manufacturers and users of aircraft alike. At the start of the handbook, the author sets the stage by discussing the fundamental challenges of aeroplane construction, notably the need for maximum strength while minimizing weight. Camm explains the shortcomings in contemporary literature regarding aeronautical construction and aims to fill this gap. He introduces the importance of material choices—primarily wood and metal—in aircraft construction and highlights evolving practices, such as standardization of parts. The opening also touches on issues of manufacturing efficiency and introduces specific topics that will be explored in subsequent chapters, establishing the handbook as a comprehensive resource for those interested in the technical aspects of aeroplane building.
