Hardback.
Slightly better than very good condition.
A fascinating account of the age of Empire flying boats, whose story began in July 1936 with a reassuringly trouble-free test flight on Kent's River Medway. Within ten years, however, this last word in luxury was to become redundant, spurned by the post-war age. Turquoise boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. ISBN: 9780709087595. Light browning to page edges. A little edge-creasing to wrapper.
