Shaped to the pattern of the author's original work, the book has been entirely rewritten, with the close collaboration of British experts, to produce a standard work on Air Navigation that will meet the requirements of aviation in the British Empire. Special attention is given to radio and celestial naviga tion, since the increased speeds and ranges of modern aircraft and the advent of high altitude flying have rendered these methods relatively more important. The book is well illustrated with line and half-tone figures and contains a folded star chart.
