FLYING BOATS OF THE EMPIRE THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SHIPS OF THE SKY
Written by Richard Knott.
Stock no. 2138437
1st. 2011. 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.
