From dust jacket: This Memoir explains the geology of a scenically varied part of east Kent, extending from the area around Catnerbury southward to the coast. It deals, in scientific terms, with the rocks of the district and the fossils which they contain, the development of the rivers and streams which traverse the local countryside and with the reclamation of Romney Marsh from the sea. The interesting and extensive landslips, the classic fossil localities at Folkestone and the fine Chalk cliffs are fully described, and an up to date account is given of the western part of the Kent Coalfield, the seams of which are worked at depths of about three thousand feet within the district. There is much in the book to interest the geologist, engineer, archaeologist, historian and enquiring holidaymaker. British History, England, Paleontology, Palaeontology, Natural History. bslic.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. R. J. Mitchell at Supermarine is the definitive account of the life of Britains best-known aeronautical engineer. Shelton calls upon unpublished letters, extensive press accounts, and updated material from his previous publications, concentrating particularly on the harsh conditions of Mitchells apprentice years, the precarious state of the aircraft firm he joined, and moments of good fortune of which he took advantage. He was a chancer as well as a methodical developer of, mainly, slow flying seaplanes. Mitchells progress from draughtsman, with no formal training in aeronautical design, to internationally known chief designer is charted through a chronological study of his designs, revealing a formidable work ethic with a complex personality that combined dreams and common sense. It will also be shown how the success of his high-speed Schneider Trophy designs propelled him reluctantly into public attention and how his anxiety for his pilots safety matched an equal concern that his designs should not let down an expectant nation. Later expectations on him to produce a killer fighter were equally daunting, and the outcome was often uncertain, but details of colleagues accounts highlight the essential and unique contribution of R.J.s experience and drive to the eventual appearance of the iconic Spitfire. A comprehensive assessment of the complex personality and work of the self-taught designer of the iconic Spitfire, from tough railway apprenticeship to uncertain production of his killer fighter. Popular myths about the man and his work are re-examined particularly via colleagues recollections and new material from the Julian Mitchell archive.
