First edition, large quarto, 96pp, 12 colour plates, 105 illustrations in the text, pictorial endpapers, red cloth covers, dustwrapper with colour illustration laid on. Contents very good with a little general wear. Several previous owners' inscriptions appear on the half title page and the rear of the frontispiece. The half title also contains some ink smudges. Covers good but with some wear and mottling. Dustwrapper is quite worn around the edges with small nicks / closed tears and small pieces of loss to the spine ends. It also contains a few small marks and some general discolouration. A companion book to 'The Book of Aircraft', also published by Warne, which I also have in stock
