- first
London: Putnam, 1958. Large octavo, original cloth, 222 pp., frontispiece and numerous plates. Plate behind frontispiece almost fully torn from the spine. A fine copy in a lightly rubbed dust-jacket. The Central Flying School - "C.F.S." to everyone who has ever been there - is as old as air power. It was formed in 1912, simultaneously with the original Royal Flying Corps, to train the world's first military pilots. Under officers like Capt. Godfrey Paine, R.N. and Major Hugh Trenchard, men destined one day to lead the Royal Air Force learned their trade in stick-and-string biplanes, while many of the first real aircraft instruments, bomb-sights and equipment were produced in the workshops.
