What reading level is The Art of Flying book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A person may then get into the car, and sit a little behind the centre of gravity, which must be adjusted before the car is placed there ; being thus elevated he will have depth enough on each side of the car to admit of his wings striking upon the air. He must then push the lever forward about eighteen inches from its perpendi- cular line, the tips of the wings will then rise three feet and a half above the level of their joints ; he must then, with a brisk exertion, pull the lever backwards e...ighteen inches past the perpendicular line, and the tips of the wings will be struck downwards, passing through an arch of seven feet, and suddenly driving down and compressing the air in that arch, part of which will escape past the back edge of the wings (as I have described before), making at the same time a reaction which will push the wings forward : and as the car and the wings are first placed on an oblique plane, they will be impelled forwards, making an oblique ascent. The projectile impulse will naturally force the machine upwards in an angle in which the plane of the wings is laid, somewhat similar to what may be observed in the raising of a common paper kite, except in a right angle, or perpendicular line ; but the nearer the angle of ascent inclines to the line of the horizon, the easier will the machine be found to ascend.
