Dreamweaver, Sydney, 1985.. 256 pp, 4to (11 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 094982500X Profusely illustrated with b&w and colour photographs. "This is the story of commercial aviation - of the individual airlines which grew out of humble beginnings into the corpora. te giants they are today. It is also the story of people. People such as Paterson, Six, Boeing, Fysh, Trippe, Hanshue, Plesman, Rickenbacker, Hughes, Frye and many other who pioneered commercial aviation and went on to found some of the greatest . a irlines in the world. The names of Boeing, Douglas, Lockhhed, Fokker, etc., are synonymous with flying today; but what of other pioneers, of companies which have ceased to exist or have gone out of aircraft building? Here the stories of deHavill. an d, Handley Page, Convair, Vickers, Stinson, Junkers, Airspeed, Avro, Bristol, Hawker Siddeley, as well as many smaller companies, are told in the context of the airlines that flew their products. With airline operations so confused and depressed. to day, this book looks back on their illustrious histories - at the efforts of people who made them grow, at the attempts to halt that growth, at the transition from air travel in splendid comfort only for the wealthy to today's 747s, DC10s and L1. 011s which pack in the low-fare-paying passengers like sardines. All in all, (this) is a fascinating chronicle of the world of commercial aviation from its very beginnings until the present." This is a heavy volume and may require extra postage, . depen ding on destination. Light cigarette odor, small bump to top/bottom of spine and to top corners of both boards, minor edge wear. Dust jacket has moderate edge wrinkling - mainly at top edge, very light rubbing, three very small tears achival. ly tap ed, slight fading to spine color. Good+/Good+. more information

Duell, Sloan and Pearce, New York, 1965, second printing.. 304 pp, 8vo (8 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs. "The rules were simple enough - even if they were loosely applied and even more loosely interpreted. For landing fields anywhere and any place close enough to roads and a center . of population would do. If you could put the wheezing, staggering planes down on the field, and people could come out to watch you careen through the air, and if you were smart enough to collect your money before a show - why, you were in the barns. torming business....But the whims of weather and the unpredictable fancies of your audience, together with the quirks of those dangerous flying machines, made for a life scarcely calculated for rest, comfort, or longevity. This lively and often d. o w nright frightening story moves from the days of the dashing young World War I aces, flying leftover 1918 Jenny biplanes, to the skilled skydivers of today. Stories of men like Charles Lindbergh and Frank Hawks, who began their aviation careers . as b arnstormers, are here, as are accounts of less famous fliers such as Tommy Walker, who daily flirted with death, and Red Grant, this country's first 'batman'. In this well-documented, energetic and masculine book, Martin Caidin presents a stu. nni ng tribute to the incomparable Barnstormers - of yesterday....today....and tomorrow." Very light browning to top and fore-edge of textblock - tiny foxing marks and line indentation also on top, minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, very ligh. t ed ge wear.

"The flight of the German airplane 'Bremen' from Europe to North America in 1928 was one of the milestones of aviation history. No one had flown the . Atlantic in that direction and the risks were high - seven people had died in the attempt. When two Germans and an Irishman left Ireland in the 'Bremen' for New York, there were predictions of a similar fate, and when nothing was heard after 40 hou. rs, the newspapers began preparing obituaries for the gallant crew. Suddenly a message was relayed from a remote Canadian radio station: the aircraft has force-landed on an ice-bound island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence....and the race was on to re. a c h the stranded flyers. The 'Bremen' story is an exciting drama of courage, humour and tragedy. All sorts of people found themselves drawn to the event, from the lighthouse keeper and his family, who watched in amazement as the aircraft landed . al mo st at their front door, to presidents and prime ministers. There were the bush pilots who were first to reach the flyers, the mechanics who tried to repair the 'Bremen', ruthless reporters competing for a scoop, and Lindbergh making a mercy f. lig ht in an attempt to save the life of pilot Floyd Bennett. Small wonder an enthusiastic journalist of those aviation-mad day called the 'Bremen' episode, 'the greatest news story of all time'." Minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine.
