Description: A companion reel to the film, "The joy of flight," class 533. Describes the use of the plane's controls in taking off, climbing, banking, stalling, spinning and recovery, diving, gliding, and landing. Superimposed animated diagrams help to clarify the actual forces acting on the plant while executing these maneuvers. "Our committee was very disappointed in the pedagogical value of these films." Collaborator. "An excellent film for practical instruction in flight, particularly for aeronautical training courses. Should be valuable also for general science and physics classes, at the junior and senior high school. Plans are good; sound and organization are good." Don White in Educational screen
