There is no indication of date but the handwriting suggests a period before the 1930s. Frederick Lanchester's biographer Dr Peter Kingsford (see p. 213 of FW Lanchester - a life of an engineer 1960) dates this manuscript to before 1914. Items LAN/1/17/2-6 which sketch out plans for a new book on aeronautics (dated 1934 and 1935) were with the manuscript, suggesting that Lanchester hoped to use some of the material from the old manuscript.
Handwritten manuscript of unpublished work by Frederick Lanchester “The Elements of Flight” or “An Introduction to the study of Flight”
