"His (the author's) close observations of the psychology of his hawks are invaluable. While his practical knowledge and his description of wing-power and how it operates are illuminating, his work is indeed a valuable contribution to the art of flying as well as bird life." The two-page introductory note by the editor, while praising Fleming's knowledge of flight and aviation, criticises his anthropomorphism and finds much fault with his knowledge as a falconer.
