What reading level is My Air Ships book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, after I had left it some 500 metres behind me, the motor was actually on the point of stopping. I had a moment of great uncertainty. I must make a quick decision. It was to abandon the steering wheel for a moment, at the risk of drift- ing from my course, in order to devote my at- tention to the carburating lever and the lever controlling the electric spark.
The motor, which had almost stopped, began to work again. I had now reached the Bois, where, by a phenomenon known to all aeronauts, ...the cool air from the trees began making my balloon heavier and heavier or in true physics, smaller by condensation. By an unlucky coinci- dence the motor at this moment began slowing again. Thus the air-ship was descending, while its motive power was decreasing.
To correct the descent I had to throw back both guide rope and shifting weights. This caused the air-ship to point diagonally upward, so that what propeller-force remained caused it to re- mount continually in the air.
I was now over the crowd of the Auteuil race- track, already with a sharp pointing upward.
