Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, gilt illustration to upper cover, xiv, vi, 175 pp. Very Good, with sunning to edges and former-owner bookplate; in a Good dust jacket with edgewear with includes light chipping. From dust jacket: The great story of aviation and the direction in which it is going is the story of our future -- a future which will be written in terms of either winged peace or winged death. It's a story which few men could tell with the authority and conviction of 'Billy' Bishop. Bishop learned aviation the hard way. In the cockpit of a World War I flying crate he became the greatest Allied ace by destroying 72 German aircraft. In the years between the wars, he remained actively interested in aviation -- both military and commercial -- and kept a wary eye on the growing air might of Germany, which he was sure we would have to fight again. When World War II broke, Canada became the heart of Britain's air-training and air-transport system, and 'Billy' Bishop has played a vital role in this great program. Now, at the climax of his career, he has undertaken a new job and rendered what may well be his greatest service to aviation. He has poured into an utterly fascinating book the past, the present and -- most of all -- the future of flight. He has told the story of aviation from Kitty Hawk to the B-29 Superfortresses, much of it in terms of his personal experiences. He shows us how our world has already been changed geographically, socially, economically, politically; how these changes will be either for great good or for desperate evil. He makes us aware of the new world map with its limitless directions and its textbook-shattering implications. He shows us the new routes over which we will either trade or fight, find peace or destruction. Through all of Bishop's stirring account, written with burning urgency, runs a zeal to make us understand the realities of world aviation today. The proved possibilities of stratospheric flight, rocket and jet-propulsion, have already rendered every plane now in the air obsolete. New York to London in three hours is assured. Tomorrow's air age is here! Aviation, Aeronautics, Aircraft, Aeroplanes, Air Planes. yslic.…

Presentation plate signed by the Author inside of upper cover. Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, 262 pp. Very Good in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Undoubtedly one of the finest personal records of the Battle of Britain, this is the autobiography of New Zealand's famous pilot in the R.A.F. from the Munich crisis until the invasion of France in 1944. His nine lives are the accounts of his fantastic luck in coming out alive from seemingly impossible situations. Deere defends the R.A.F. from the Munich crisi until the invasion of France in 1944. His nine lives are the accounts of his fantastic luck in coming out alive from seemingly impossible situations. Deere defends the R.A.F. against the charge that it did not fully support the Army at Dunkirk. He experienced the drama of the early days of the Battle of Britain while operating with Spitfire squadrons based at Hornchurch and Manston, and his story tells of the successes and frustrations during those exhausting weeks. Victory was achieved by a narrow margin: how narrow, very few people realise. The author treats his continuous action as a fighter pilot and formation leader with modesty -- his official score was destroyed 22, probables 10, damaged 18 -- and his book may well be described as a documentary tribute to fellow members of The Few as well as a valuable contribution of distinction to the annals of the then young Fighter Command in general.

Nevertheless extremely rare with Worldcat and Library Hub recording only one institutional copy of a 1962 edition between them (OCLC 1088536221: Exeter University). Hosted by permission of Station Commander Group Captain J.R.H. Merifield, the Open Day was held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund, and repay the hospitality shown by residents in the Colony and Protectorates (Merifield's Foreword). This public relations work thus contains sections on the RAF Benevolent Fund (Air Marshal S.C. Elsworthy, Commander-in-Chief, British Forces, Arabian Peninsula); RAF Khormaksar's role (Merifield); its Wing Commanders; its role as a Staging Post (Wing Commander ABJ Pearson); the Army's Air Despatch Unit; 8, 37, 84, 233, 5004 Airfield Construction Branch Squadrons; air traffic control; aircraft in the flying display; family welfare (Mrs Merifield); children's education; Aden Forces Broadcasting Association; Khormaksar and Aden; recent visitors (including Lord Mountbatten); the Aden Protectorate Levies; leisure; and the Battle of Britain. The Programme lists 23 events involving diverse aircraft including a sonic bang, low photographic reconnaissance runs, a helicopter dingy rescue to the sound of the Blue Danube, paras loaded on to a Blackburn Beverley, numerous fly-pasts and landings and other activities giving insight into hardware and operations. Music was provided by the Military Band and Corps of Drums. Amusements organised by Squadrons and other groups included treasure hunts and other games. The map is of Arabia and Africa with an inset for Aden Colony. The plan shows the Station's layout with event structures and toilets distinguished as of European or non-European type reflecting the diverse population. Among the advertisers are Aden Airways, oil (Standard Vacuum, BP, Shell), banks (Grindlays, Chartered, Bank of India), shipping, etc.…
