In the infancy of aviation, the early 1920's, no one dreamed that the close of the decade would see it firmly and permanently established?a leader among the nation's industries. Heavier-than-air flight is perhaps the most amazing contribution of the 20th century. It is easy to thrill to the seeming marvels of our own times, but only the short-sighted thinker believes in the perfection of present scientific progress. The 300-mile-an-hour airplane which Fraser conceived in this book for the speed of the Sky-Bird II was little more than so many words when he wrote it. . . . today we have 400-mile-an-hour fighting planes. Today we have in this country an intricate highway system, but perhaps within your own lifetime our highways, and the automobiles which skim over them, will be laughed at as obsolete and useless. Thus it is that "the seemingly impossible of the fiction of today becomes outdone by the facts of tomorrow," as the author aptly phrased it. And so it will be gratifying and, no doubt, amazing to many to read this book and realize the advancement made in aviation since this story was written by Mr. Fraser, and how many of the ideas he prophesied for airplane advancement that have materialized in less than a score of years, In the infancy of aviation, the early 1920's, no one dreamed that the close of the decade would see it firmly and permanently established?a leader among the nation's industries.
