Contents: From Inside cover: "The methods employed by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation in the manufacture of its engines are intensely interesting to the countless thousands of people who recognize the importance of aircraft in these modern times.

We are therefore presenting in photographic form the points of interest to be encountered on such a tour."
