Georges Sablier was a french engineer who designed an unbelievable number of gliders and light aircrafts intended for air enthusiasts. He never built them himself but his works were published in books and many magazines.
Amongst these publications, the practical building manual for glider and light airplane was much appreciated and helped a lot to understand basic aeronautical woodwork.
