An older boy explains flight principles to two younger children using his recently constructed model airplane. He points out the parts of the plane and uses a simple demonstration to illustrate the concept of lift. During the plane flight the pilot shows how he controls the plane using the aileron, rudder, elevators, and throttle., SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES WHICH MAKE POSSIBLE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT ARE EXPLAINED. MANY DIFFERENT PLANES ARE SHOWN TAKING OFF. TYPES & SIZES OF PLANES ILLUSTRATED FROM LIGHT PRIVATE PLANES TO HEAVY BOMBERS AIRCRAFT CONTROLS & METHODS SHOWN.
