Description: "An introductory sequence functionally identifies the five major parts of an airplane. The steps in the actual construction of a 'Piper Cub' are then shown."

The procedure for compensating for stability and safe operational performance which the plane must pass in order to be licensed are demonstrated." Indiana. "Would be especially useful in adult and high school aviation courses familiar with nomenclature and appearance of the constructional details of an airplane and in vocational guidance groups for illustrations of various skills required and types of work done in airplane manufacturing. The best film that has been submitted for use in preflight courses." Educational screen
