Individual descriptions and histories of the different types of aeroplanes and the seventeen airships designed and constructed in Great Britain between 1809 and the outbreak of war in 1914. The text examines the various machines both conventional and extremely unorthodox which were used by the early pioneers from Sir George Cayley onwards to lay the foundations of Britain's prowess in the air.
