L'Aviation de l'Amateur

Comment J'ai Contruit Mon Avionnette

Le Vol A Voile Dynamique

by 

Henri Mignet

This book was originally written and illustrated by hand in 1930 then published in a small quantity by Editions Fournier (Paris).  It was preserved, photocopied and reproduced by Del Cross (EAA178870) in December, 1994 "to help preserve the work of a very talented man, Henri Mignet."  FlyingFlea.org presents it here for all to appreciate.  We have added an English translation of some of the pages provided by Mr. Cross and hope to provide a complete translation of Henri Mignet's work at some point in the future.  We hope that our French-speaking visitors will forgive any inaccuracies in the translations and perhaps someone fluent in both English and French might offer a better translation for use by all.
