Extract

      “And as in uffish thought he stood,
      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
      Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
      And burbled as it came!“

Scarcely has the final history of the steam train been written, than I am asked to write the history of the aeroplane, from the research facilities’ point of view. It can only be this nostalgia for the past which has enabled me to secure the willing help of so many people in the brief three and a half weeks allowed for the compilation of this paper. Of necessity it must be incomplete, but is, I trust, accurate.
