Gliding, flapping and propelled flight used by birds in air; some better adapted than others to one or another of these processes; resources for maneuvering making of them gliders, airplanes, or helicopters; new theory of flapping flight developed by author, which consists of succession of short descents in gliding flight; influence of lines of bird on its aerodynamic characteristics. Indexed in Engineering Index 1929, from Mech. Eng., Oct. 1929.
