BALLOONS TO BUCCANEERS: YORKSHIRE'S ROLE IN AVIATION SINCE 1785

by Brian Catchpole

Published by Maxiprint. 1st. 1994

Very good condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Ever since the first aeronauts reached for the skies Yorkshire's role in the history of aviation has been of supreme importance, although too often overlooked. This book redresses this and places the role squarely in the national context of aviation. Large format. Blue cloth boards, gilt titles. B/w photos and maps.

Grubby mark to page xiv bleeding through to page xiii and also slightly to page 1. Small amount of surface paper loss to grubby mark.
