The Young Sportsman's Guide to Kite Flying by Will Yolen, VG 1963 HB w/ VG DJ

Description: The Young Sportsman's Guide to Kite Flying By Will Yolen Hardcover: 96 Pages — Publisher: Thomas Nelson And Sons; 1st Edition (1963) "A combination of four things-action, art, history, and mystery-has made kite flying popular and enduring," Will Yolen writes. The author, the world's champion kite flier, enthusiastically gives a capsule background of kites, demonstrating their repeated appearances in both myth and history. From the famous wax wings of Daedalus and Icarus to the recent development of the Air Force's Flexwing, kites have played an important part in both science and sport. The author clearly explains the necessary technical fundamentals that often elude the untutored beginner. He describes the pleasures of competitive flying and gives helpful hints for the contestant. He explains flying techniques to achieve altitude, speed, and stability. Champion Yolen discusses all types of kites—the simple flat kite, the more complicated box and bow kites, and the sophisticated non-rigid kite. He also explains kite fishing-an almost forgotten sport now undergoing a revival. Skip fishing, too, is one of the many variations of kiting explained in this book. In addition to the well-written, easy-to-read text, there are numerous illustrations which make this book a practical introduction to one of man's most ancient pastimes—kite flying.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Condition: VERY GOOD.
