VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "books by Pitman's, " specifically targeting those interested in aviation mechanics and aeronautics. The ad features an illustration of a pilot or aviator at the top, dressed in flight gear typical of the early to mid-20th century, including a leather flight jacket and goggles. The main text advertises a new edition book titled "METAL AIRCRAFT FOR THE MECHANIC" by R. J. Abott, which seems to be aimed at providing practical knowledge for aircraft construction using metal materials. Below this headline are listed several other books related to various aspects of aircraft construction and maintenance such as "MATERIALS OF AIRCRAFT CONSTRUCTION, " "AERO ENGINES FOR PILOTS AND GROUND ENGINEERS, " along with titles focused on electricity in aircraft, stress analysis, sheet metal work, and mathematics tailored for airmen. In addition to these specific titles, there is also mention of the "SIMPLY EXPLAINED Series" which includes handbooks on various topics like flying instruction, navigation aids systems explained among others. These books seem designed to simplify complex concepts for readers seeking knowledge in the field of aviation. At the bottom left corner is an area designated for notes where interested individuals could presumably write down their details or inquiries before sending them off to Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. , based in London as indicated by the address provided. Overall, this image captures an era when aviation was rapidly advancing technologically and required specialized knowledge disseminated through educational materials like those advertised here by Pitman's publishing company.
