Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. First Edition thus, very fine condition. Atlantic Wings 1919-1939 The conquest of the North Atlantic by Aeroplane Special Collection by Kenneth McDonough. Published by Model Aeronautical Press in 1966. Hardcover. Today, when flight as fast as the speed of sound is commonplace and the aeroplane is part of daily life, it is difficult to believe that the events in this book occured so recently. Yet, the significant stages in the aerial conquest of our planet are known to a relative few. This book, in describing the ascendancy over the North Atlantic, gives a fair cross-section of man and machine in the struggle. Collectible item in excellent condition.
