Chapter 4 focuses on Argyll's activities related to aeronautics.
Much of the information in this chapter is taken from my previously published paper, see Bossoh, N., 2021. A Victorian hope for aerial navigation: Argyll as a theorist of flight and the first president of the Aëronautical Society of Great Britain. Endeavour, [e-journal] 45(1-2), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.endeavour.2021.100753
The argument of the thesis overall: "Not only was Argyll a knowledge maker in his own right, I argue, but he also acted as a key facilitator, or broker, in knowledge networks dedicated to scientific and industrial advance across Britain and its growing empire."
