What reading level is A History of Aeronautics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Of the precedingyear, which was by no means accounted for by the mere increase in enginepower from 100 horse-power to 140 horse-power. This machine was thefirst in which the refinement of 'stream-lining' the pilot's head, whichbecame a feature of subsequent racing machines, was introduced. Thisconsisted of a circular padded excresence above the cockpit immediatelybehind the pilot's head, which gradually tapered off into the topsurface of the fuselage. The object was to give the air an uninterru...ptedflow instead of allowing it to be broken up into eddies behind thehead of the pilot, and it also provided a support against the enormouswind-pressure encountered. This true stream-line form of fuselage owedits introduction to the Paulhan-Tatin 'Torpille' monoplane of the ParisSalon of early 1917. Altogether the end of the year 1912 began to seethe disappearance of 'freak' machines with all sorts of original ideasfor the increase of stability and performance. Designs had by thengradually become to a considerable extent standardised, and it hadbecome unusual to find a machine built which would fail to fly.
