"It is hoped that by introducing the present book at such an early stage in the peace situation, before the War departments of the Air Ministry had been broken up, and when through the goodwill of the officers of the Air Ministry, such as General Tizard, acting under General J. Weir, and later General Brook-Popham, Mr. Bairstow, Colonel the Master of Semphill, and others, it has been possible to utilise the technical information accumulated during the war, a serious service will have been rendered to aeronautics. If we succeed in furthering aircraft transport and travel by improving the aeroplane, we shall probably have so subserved international intercommunication as to conduce to that mutual understanding which is the best basis for a protracted peace."
