Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [moderate wear to extremities, front hinge cracked exposing webbing, light dampstain at lower left corner of front cover, light soiling/age-toning to edges of text block]. SIGNED and DATED (1944) by the author on the front endpaper. The author (1877-1965) was a major fi…gure in the early 20th century steel industry. He was the first president and board chairman of the Republic Steel Corporation, founded in 1929, which during the Depression became a major producer of light alloys. At first a supporter of FDR's National Recovery Act, he became disillusioned with the New Deal and its programs in 1935 after the passage of the Wagner Act, which established the collective bargaining rights of industrial workers. Republic's refusal, under his leadership, to bargain with the CIO helped to precipitate the Little Steel Strike of 1937, considered one of the most violent strikes of the 1930s. Signed by Author.

Contact seller5-star seller4to. 60 pp. Numerous photos, illustrations, text illustrations, maps, diagrams. Red, white & blue colour-illustrated softcovers, cover art of globe front cover, ads for Tinnerman, Sohio Esso aviation fuel, and Thompson Steel which produced the engine for the US Air Force jet Shooting Star (minor shelfwear, slight dustsoiling, ve…ry minor creasing to couple corners), still a VG bright cover, from collection of T.C. Weaver. First edition of this very scarce program for the famed National Aircraft Show and Air Races, which was the first held since 1939, interrupted by the War, and along with the Los Angeles races reflected a changed environment. There was a jet propelled division, and a much larger scale military involvement, 90 different pilots entered their modified surplus planes, and competition was fierce. Over 180,000 spectators paid to see Tex Johnson, 32-year-old test pilot win the propeller division at a speed of 373.908. Of particular interest were the display of captured German V-1 and V-2 rockets, and newly developed American radio-controlled bombs. No copies in Worldcat.
