Abstract
THIS book attempts to cover a very wide field indeed, ranging from the flight of insects and birds, to aviation medicine, and the control of disease that may be spread by air travel. It gives a very lucid if somewhat superficial description of these matters in a form which assumes no previous knowledge of the subject.
