Octavo, navy blue cloth (hardcover), yellow letters & decoration to lower corner of upper cover, 236 pp. Illustrated. Good+, with sunned spine and light edgewear. From book: Ever since I was a small boy aeroplanes have been my passion. And it must have been during the days of 1916 and 1917 that I fashioned those models of matchbox, cardboard and sticks that were indirectly to determine the course of my whole life.
