Excerpt from Opportunities in Aviation In a subject which lends itself dangerously to imagination, the authors have endeavored to base what they have written, not on prophecy, but on actual accomplishments to date. The latter are indeed SO solid that there is no necessity for guesswork. Avia tion has proved itself beyond peradventure to those who have followed it, but up to the present the general public has not sufficiently analyzed its demonstrated possibilities. The era of the air is undoubtedly at hand; it now remains to take the steps necessary to reap full advantages from it.
