Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Red cloth hardcover with original dust jacket present. Jacket shows significant wear including fraying and separation at top corner and a prominent crease and tear across the upper front panel. Boards clean, binding tight. Interior pages clean with light age-tanning, no tears, no writing beyond the inscription. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page to Ed Novak, dated 2/27/75: "A dedicated F.A.C.er and model builder whose continued interest in early aviation makes books like this possible. With best wishes, Jesse Davidson." Jesse Davidson was editor of Flying Aces magazine and a mid-century aviation archivist and Time/Life consultant whose archive stamp appears on significant pieces in major aviation collections. Ed Novak was among the earliest members of the modern Flying Aces Club, a pioneer of free-flight rubber-powered scale modeling, and a foundational figure in the FAC community until his passing in 2024. First edition, signed months after publication. A niche piece for serious model aviation and Golden Age aviation collectors. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # OZAVX320
