SIR GEORGE CAYLEY'S AERONAUTICS 1796-1855

by Charles H. Gibbs-Smith

Published by HMSO. 1st. 1962

Very good condition. The book presents Cayley's aeronautics. By 1849 Cayley had constructed and flown a full-size triplane glider which carried a boy for brief distances and in 1853 Cayley despatched his unwilling coachman across a dale near Scarborough in a glider. B/w illustrations.

A few light scuffs to boards, minor fading to spine and top edge of boards. Foxing to prelims and text block.
