The Aeroplane Speaks. Fifth Edition
·
H. Barber
53
Throttling
down
the
power
of
the
engine
he
spirals
downwards,
keenly
observing
the
country
below.
There
are
plenty
of
green
fields
to
lure
him,
and
his
great
object
is
to
avoid
one
in
which
the
grass
is
long,
for
that
would
bring
his
machine
to
a
stop
so
suddenly
as
to
turn
it
over;
or
one
of
rough
surface
likely
to
break
the
under-carriage.
Now
is
perfect
eyesight
and
a
cool
head
indispensable.
He
sees
and
decides
upon
a
field
and,
knowing
his
job,
he
sticks
to
that
field
with
no
change
of
mind
to
confuse
him.
It
is
none
too
large,
and
gliding
just
over
the
trees
and
head
on
to
the
wind
he
skilfully
"stalls"
his
machine;
that
is,
the
speed
having
decreased
sufficiently
to
avoid
such
a
manoeuvre
resulting
in
ascent,
he,
by
means
of
the
Elevator,
gives
the
Aeroplane
as
large
an
angle
of
incidence
as
possible,
and
the
undersides
of
the
planes
meeting
the
air
at
such
a
large
angle
act
as
an
air-brake,
and
the
Aeroplane,
skimming
over
the
ground,
lessens
its
speed
and
finally
stops
just
at
the
farther
end
of
the
field.
