Book Description Hardcover. First. First U.K. edition. N.d. (1930). Sky blue cloth wth spine lettering gilt. 314 pps. with index. Illustrated with numerous monochrome plates. A cornerstone work on early 20th century aviation by Gen. "Billy" Mitchell, a key (and controversial) figure in the establishment of the U.S. Army Air Force.
