This volume contains research that originally appeared in *The Railroad and Engineering Journal* from 1891 to 1893. Written by a distinguished aviation pioneer, it analyzes virtually every experimental flight of the era. These data on flight control and equilibrium were crucial to the early designs of the Wright Brothers. 90 illustrations.
