VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage advertisement for a book titled "Flying: The Why and Wherefore. " The ad suggests that the book is unconventional and has caused some controversy, emphasizing that it's not just a dry mathematical treatise or technical manual but an interesting read on present-day aeroplane theory and practice. It covers construction, successes, and failures of aircraft. The text highlights that the book is intended for ordinary readers who want to better understand the principles underlying human flight and appreciate current progress in aviation. Notably, it mentions that the book is profusely illustrated. At the bottom of the ad, there are details about pricing—1 shilling net—and purchasing options. Readers can also get it post-paid for 1 shilling and 2 pence from "The Aero" at 20 Tudor St. , London E. C. Visually, above the main body of text are stylized images representing flying machines—a biplane with two sets of wings one above another in diagonal alignment towards each other—and below near the price information is an illustration of what appears to be two figures examining or working on part of an airplane wing or tail structure.
