Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This copy is in fine, unmarked condition bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. It is hard today to envisage the era when the Royal Navy ruled the seas, its cruisers and gunboats policing Britain's worldwide empire and trade, its battlefleet providing the force behind Britain's global power. It was a legendary service carrying an aura of invincibility from its victorious history culminating in Trafalgar even as its ships changed out of all recognition in response to the industrial age, Nelson's 'wooden walls' giving way to steel battleships, destroyers and submarines. Peter Padfield describes this wholesale transformation and brings the lives of officers and men and the tasks they undertook vividly to the page. This classic account of a uniquely splendid service remains unsurpassed. The book is a must for anyone seeking to understand the eminence and the decline of British global power. This highly informative and lavishly illustrated volume by a naval historian who is also an experienced sailor describes the Navy s many tasks and explores the lives and attitudes of the officers and men of a uniquely powerful force. Padfield's book, first published in 1981, and still unsurpassed, shows how the Admiralty maintained supremacy by abandoning tradition. In effect, his book, for all its salty description of Jack Tars scurrying up to the top-gallants, describes a revolution. Ref GGG 3.

Synopsis from inside DJ leaf: ''The history of aviation has for long lacked a systematic directory of the world's first aeroplanes, and a convenient nomenclature for them. The present work provides such a compilation, embracing every man-carrying powered machine which rose from the ground from 1809 to August 1909 along with the historically more important gliders; that is to say from Sir George Cayley's first full-size glider, through a century of aviation development, up to the Reims meeting of August, 1909, when the powered aeroplane came of age and was accepted in the world as a practical vehicle. The aircraft are first grouped under their creators, who are named in alphabetical order. There then follows a chronological list of man-carrying gliders, kites and powered aeroplanes in order of their first take-off, a list of aero-engines and the aeroplanes they powered, and one of surviving aircraft and engines. The volume concludes with appendices, providing descriptions of the first aerodromes, aviation meetings, etc. and brief conversion tables for British and metric measurements.''.
