Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Later Edition. War in the Air by Gerald Bowman is a concise, illustrated survey of the development and impact of air power from its origins through the Second World War and into the early nuclear age. Drawing on Bowman's experience as a newspaperman and ex-Squadron Leader, the book traces the birth of military aviation, key campaigns (Battle of Britain, the Blitz, strategic bombing, Battle of the Atlantic), and the shift to massed air power and new weapons. A foreword by Air Chief Marshal Sir Philip Joubert frames the technical and strategic context, and a revised 1958 section considers postwar developments and the implications of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. The tone is accessible and narrative-driven, combining historical overview, operational highlights, and illustrated material to make complex developments in air warfare readable for a general audience. Paper is soft and fragile. Paperback edition. 185 pages. Dimensions: 4" by 7". Published by Pan Books Ltd., London. Original Copyright 1956: New/Revised Edition 1958: B&W illustrations.

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
