Throughout the 1950s, methods of experimental analysis led to a
great increase in knowledge of the machinery of insect flight. In
this 1957 monograph, Dr Pringle brings together the results of his
investigations of the mechanics of wing motion, the structure and
physiology of flight muscle, aerodynamics, sense organs and nervous
co-ordination, and shows how a common structural plan has been
perfected during the course of evolution to produce the variety of
form and function found in the different insect orders. Of
particular interest is the special type of muscle found only in the
higher insects and responsible for the very high wing-beat
frequencies of some flies and bees. Many different lines of
approach have contributed to the understanding of insect flight,
and the subject is of great interest to entomologists, comparative
physiologists and biological engineers.
