Progress in Flying Machines. Chanute's most famous and important work. This book is being brought online slowly. Currently the full text is online, as well as both appendices. Only about 2/3 of the figures have been scanned in, and proofing has just begun. At the moment, I consider this posting to be preliminary. If you find mistakes, please let me know.
