PREFACE

This book is written for the enlisted men of Naval aviation. It is one of a series of books designed to give them the necessary information to perform their aviation duties.

All rates and specialists can well start their careers by studying INTRODUCTION TO AIRPLANES. In brief fashion it discusses aviation history, aerodynamics, nomenclature of airplane structures and power plants. It gives the enlisted man a quick look at some of the airplanes which today are making history. It takes up such matters as airplane handling, anchoring and mooring, aviation seamanship, cleaning and inspecting, fueling and starting, and concludes with a short discussion of aircraft, armament and emergency equipment. Most of the subjects taken up here are treated more extensively elsewhere in this series. The purpose of INTRODUCTION TO AIRPLANES is to build an informational foundation - not so much in detail as in principles.

As one of the NAVY TRAINING COURSES, this book represents the joint endeavor of the Naval Air Technical Training Command and the Training Division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel.
