Excerpt from page 3.

The weather is with us wherever we are, yet nothing is more taken for grated than the daily drama of the sky.

The heavens are a fairyland, filled with marvels, to anyone who opens his mind and spirit to them; facts are often as inspiring as the fancies and what one sees aloft in the skies is as real as anything to be experienced on earth
