SIGNED LIMITED EDITION of 250 copies only. SIGNED by MICHAEL TURNER. This copy is Numbered 36/250. Bound in full dark blue leather (or bonded leather? ? ) with bright gilt titling to the spine and front cover, and similarly titled in gilt to the spine only, on the Fine dark blue slipcase. Format = 29.7cm x 34.7cm (13.75" x 11.75" ) Landscape Hardback. 160pp. With 30 paintings and drawings, & 315 photographs. This book is a unique collaboration between Flying Legend Alex Henshaw and Artist Michael Turner, blending paintings, photographs and the subject’s own narrative into a captivating celebration of his remarkable life in the air from 1932 to 1948. There were three phases to his flying: his headline-making competitive exploits pre-war, culminating in a London-Cape Town-London record that still stands; his vital war work testing aircraft, first for Vickers-Armstrong at Weybridge and then for Supermarine at Castle Bromwich; and his post-war activities throughout Africa. Each significant episode of those years has its own chapter, from learning to fly in a de Havilland DH 60 Gipsy Moth to a final long-distance African trip in a Miles Gemini. This is a very special book that all aviation enthusiasts will treasure. GIFT Quality. Images available on request if not shown here. This book is large and overweight and MAY require extra postage for International customers. Please ask if uncertain. ; Oblong 4to 13" - 15" long; Signed by Author & Illustrator.…
