Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Third Route' is a fascinating first-hand account of a monumental 17,000-mile aerial journey undertaken by Sir Philip Sassoon in 1928. As the British Under-Secretary of State for Air, Sassoon traveled across the Middle East and India to inspect the network of Royal Air Force stations. T…his work provides a unique perspective on the early days of international flight, chronicling the transition from traditional sea and land routes to the pioneering 'third route' of the skies. Sassoon's narrative captures the awe of flying over historic landscapes, from the deserts of Iraq to the peaks of the Himalayas, offering vivid descriptions of the cultures and topographies encountered along the way. Beyond a mere travelogue, the book explores the strategic and logistical challenges of maintaining an aerial presence in the interwar period. 'The Third Route' serves as both a significant historical record of British aviation and a compelling memoir of a time when the world was being rapidly reshaped by the advent of the airplane. Readers interested in military history, the evolution of transport, and the grandeur of 1920s travel will find this an evocative and insightful read.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. SASSOON, Philip [291] pp. William Heineman Limited Ltd 1929 9" x 6" Philip Sassoon's travel book, with the scarce dust jacket by Rex Whistler. The Third Route is Sassoon's personal account of his celebrated 17,000 mile flying tour in 1928 of British overseas air stati…ons in his capacity as Air Minister. He visited Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Iraq, India and Malta. The aim of the tour was two-fold - firstly, to inspect the Empire's network of air bases; secondly, to test the new air route to India with a view to opening it up to civilians. The title Third Route refers to this new passage to India which, in Sassoon's view, followed on from Vasco da Gama and the Suez Canal. Rex Whistler's map illustrates these three routes and is reproduced on the dust jacket and (in this British edition) on the endpapers. The aerial photographs reproduced in the book offered readers a fresh vantage point to the world's archaeological sites and cities. All proceeds from the book were given to the Royal Air Force Memorial Fund. T.E. Lawrence wrote to Sassoon after reading his copy - 'Yesterday I re-read your Third Route (in my usual fashion, which is to toss through a new book in an hour, first time and if it seems to ask for more, to go through it again slowly, after a fortnight). Yours did definitely ask for it.' (letter dated 15 May 1929). Scarce with the Whistler dust jacket. DESCRIPTION Philip Sassoon. Introduction by Thornton Wilder.
