(Subject: Aviation - General) A fascinating, contemporary study of aviation from the perspective of 1936. World War II was approaching and some 'modern' fighters, such as the Hawker Hurricane (at the time apparently unnamed) feature alongside such types as the Hawker Hardy and Demon. There are chapters on civil aviation between the wars, seaplanes, airships and much more. Extensively illustrated in black and white, this book will be of interest from a historical point of view. It even includes some bizarre, and some more accurate predictions of things to come in the future. (Published: 1936) (Publisher: George Newnes Ltd.)
