Hiram Stevens Maxim recommended the Pocket-Book of Aeronautics highly (with a caveat) in 1909:
During the last few years, a considerable number of text-books and scientific treaties have been written on the subject of artificial flight, the most elaborate and by far the most reliable of these being the "Pocket-Book of Aeronautics" by Herman W. L. Moedebeck, Major und battaillons Kommandeur im Badischen Fussartillerie Regiment No. 14; in collaboration with O. Chanute and others. Translated by W. Mansergh Varley, B.A., D.Sc., Ph.D., and published by Whittaker & Co… This work does not, however, confine itself altogether to flying machines, but has a great deal of information which is of little or no value to the builder of true flying machines; moreover, it is not simple enough to be readily understood by the majority of experimenters.[2]
