Explanation of Flying Lessons by G. H. Davis
A diagram detailing how one learns to fly a light aeroplane. With the rise in popularity of owning a plane, flying lessons also became more popular. Here, the lessons are explained in detail. First, the controls are explained. Next, the basic theory of flight, and principles of taking off and landing are studied and practised. The pupil then is allowed to have full control, and practise more advanced manoeuvres until the test for the Royal Aero-Club certificate. After this, the pupil is taught navigation, and sent on a cross-country flight to complete the training.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This diagram by G. H. Davis, published in the Illustrated London News in 1927, provides a comprehensive explanation of the process of learning to fly a light aeroplane. As the popularity of owning a plane soared during this era, so too did the demand for flying lessons. This diagram illustrates the various stages of instruction that a pupil would undergo to earn their wings. The learning journey begins with a thorough understanding of the aircraft's controls, which includes the rudder, elevator, ailerons, and throttle. Once the fundamentals of the cockpit are mastered, the pupil delves into the basic theory of flight and the principles of taking off and landing. With a solid foundation in place, the pupil is then given the reins and allowed to take the plane for a spin, practicing more advanced maneuvers under the watchful eye of their instructor. The ultimate goal is to pass the test for the Royal Aero-Club certificate, a symbol of mastery and proficiency in aviation. Once the certificate is earned, the pupil's education continues with navigation lessons, preparing them for longer, cross-country flights. This diagram, with its clear and detailed illustrations, serves as a testament to the excitement and allure of early aviation and the thrill of taking to the skies in a biplane or double-decker transport aircraft.
