Language: English Description: Your Book of Kites is primarily intended
to provide the beginner with a complete
manual of the construction and flying
of all the basic types of kite. Flat, bow,
and box kites are described in detail,
first in their simplest forms and then in
more complex variants having superior
performance or added beauty. Descrip-
tions of more than twenty kites are
included, and there are suggestions for
further possibilities. Considerable atten-
tion is given to the selection and proper
use of the most suitable materials. Fol-
lowing the constructional details are
chapters on launching, flying and land-
ing, together with information on
special flying methods: stunt-flying,
`four-in-hand' flying, musical kites, and
other variations on the basic techniques.
There is a chapter describing in simple
terms how and why kites stay in the
air, while at the end of the book are
suggestions for their practical applica-
tion and for kite-competitions.
