About this Item
First edition, first printing of Non-Scheduled Flight by R. L. Duffus, published by The Macmillan Company in 1950. Signed and warmly inscribed on the front free endpaper, dated "New York, Jan. 1950," in the author's hand. Duffus, a longtime journalist and editor at The New York Times, brings a reporter's clarity to this mid-century aviation novel, written at a time when commercial flight and private charter services were rapidly reshaping American travel. The book retains its original 1950 binding with clean interior pages and a tight spine. The cloth shows gentle sunning and light wear consistent with age but remains structurally sound. A scarce signed example suitable for collectors of aviation history, postwar American fiction, or New York Times-associated authors.
