Description
The First Home-Built Aeroplanes by Arthur W. J. G Ord-Hume In 1935, Practical Mechanics magazine published a series of articles on building the Flying Flea aircraft, which sparked a fascination with amateur aviation. Although the Flying Flea was not a commercial success, it laid the groundwork for future DIY projects. The magazine continued to inspire readers with subsequent designs, including the Luton Minor and LA.4a Minor. However, the outbreak of World War II brought an end to these activities. It wasn't until after the war that amateur aviation resumed, thanks in part to Arthur W. J. G Ord-Hume's efforts. This book collects all the Practical Mechanics articles on home-built aircraft from the Flying Flea to the LA.4a Minor, offering a unique insight into the history of DIY aviation.
