1949 EDITION 629.13 PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT. EBF 1940 15min si $24 629.13 jh-sh-c-tr-ad Guide The first part of the film demonstrates with excellent action shots the principles of gliding , . , Laboratory tests on full sized airplanes are made in huge wind tunnels. Scale models in small wind tunnels are used to study flight conditions We see the controls of an airplane as hands and feet work them. Clear demonstrations by actual shots and animated diagrams are given of the work of the rudder, the elevators, and the stabilizer. That ailerons cause the plane to bank at the turns is also demon "The mysteries of flying are quickly dispelled in the film. . . Action diagrams are appropriately used to explain those principles difficult of comprehension. . . A study of the subject before exhibiting the picture is advisable. . . The film is especially suitable for classes in Aviation or Science in the secondary schools." Committee on classroom films PROBLEIVIS OF FLIGHT. EBP 1941 llmin sd (Physics ser) $45, rent $2.50 629.13 jh-sh-c-tr Guide Collaborators: R. J. Stephenson, University of Chicago and Lt W. T. Brownell, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve A companion reel to the film, "Theory of Flight," class 533. Describes the use of the plane's controls In taking off, climbing, banking, stalling, spinning and recovery, diving, gliding, and landing. Superimposed animated diagrams help to clarify the action of forces acting on the plant while executing these maneuvers Gliding and landing are given special consideration by demonstrating both correct and incorrect techniques "Our committee was very disappointed In the pedagogical value of these films." Collaborator "An excellent film for practical Instruction in flight, particularly for aeronautical training courses. Should be valuable also for general science and physics classes, at the Junior high through adult levels. Photography, sound and organization are good."

Much of the picture was shot with camera fastened to eight different places on a 250-pound plane in full flight over cliffs and ocean "Sequences also given to construction, assembly, safety devices, wind currents and principles of gliding. Photographed over the cliffs of the Southern California shoreline, the picture has beauty and a good sound track which will make it interesting to others than devotees of the sport."

Bray 1942 52min sd rent $10 " 629.13 el-Jh-sh-c-tr-ad An official National Aeronautic Association motion picture, produced with the Cooperation of the Franklin Institute In Philadelphia. A quick exposition of the science of aerodynamics. We see how birds control their flight by manipulating wing and tail feathers; we see demonstrations of air flow, force, mass, density and thermals, and hear in simple layman's language, an explanation of these phenomena; we see the science of flight applied. We Inspect full size commercial and defense planes. Shots of model plane meets are shown where youths exhibit their models and test their skills "An outstanding contribution to the promotion of aeronautics." Joseph Bergin Director Utah State Aeronautic Commission "Finest picture on aviation I've seen." Collaborator 465
