Early aviators had to be both mechanic and pilot... early airplanes and engines were less than completely dependable. In a forced landing situation, they had to find and fix the problem themselves in order to get the airplane back in the air — fortunately their airplanes were not complex in their systems, nor complicated to fix...

This excellent book - written by a former surveyor with the CAA Airworthiness Division - provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of automatic flight for fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
