Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. First Edition. xx, 268p. A very good copy, there is some bubbling on the covers and a little on the spine which may have been caused by the insufficient application of glue in the binding process or perhaps by heat, but I think not by water since there is no evidence of it, the spine is slightly cocked, the spine ends and the forecorners of the covers are slightly rubbed and bumped, and the former owner's signature is on the front free endpaper, the d.j. is poor, being in two pieces, with some chips. The red binding is bright and sound, and the pages are clean. I called this a first edition because it agrees with Chapman and Hall's statement in Boutell, but the dust jacket indicates that this is the cheap edition (which in this case may refer to the binding). Lastly, the errata slip called for in the LC Online Catalog, is tipped in on the inner margin of p. 64. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

8vo., First Edition, with a full-page photograph and numerous diagrams in the text, and a large folding map; original blue cloth, upper board lettered in gilt, a near fine copy. WITH A LONG T.L.s FROM SIR ALAN COBHAM ON FLIGHT REFUELLING LTD STATIONERY TO V H RABY, DEPUTY UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE AIR MINISTRY. Cobham's detailed letter concludes 'The Report may be regarded as a supplement to Mr. Latimer-Needham's book 'Refuelling in Flight' which appeared in 1950. Together these two publications cover the whole history of research and development leading up to the adoption of flight refuelling on the V-class bombers'. With the separately printed Explanatory Note mounted on front free endpaper verso.
