Item description from seller

There is a very neat and very small gift inscription on front end paper, and the head of the front flap a small tear on its edge, else in excellent condition: no markings, binding solid. "Ralph Lewis has produced a fascinating account of the experiences of a radio operator/navigator during what may be described as the formative years of those professions. The accounts of his wartime years with United Air Lines and of the many strange episodes with the legendary Transocean Air Lines after the war could be, without exaggeration, described as adventurous. In addition to the sharply-written text, the book is illustrated exclusively with more than a hundred of Ralph's superb photographs that include rare shots of the Pacific Islands and atolls, the famous Transocean gold bullion airlift, the monkey flights, the royal chairlift in Saudi Arabia, and many others." (front flap).

Store description

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
