Extract

This is the fifth occasion on which I have had the honour to address our Society and the third time I have chosen to discuss the same subject: “The stalling of aeroplanes.” I should apologise for thus harping upon a single string were it not that no subject could be more appropriate to an address in memory of Wilbur Wright, and were it not that until the stall is thoroughly understood and its attendant dangers pushed out of the way, aviation will not be free to play the great rôle which it is undoubtedly destined to play in the civilisation of the world.
