Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Account of a bunch of crazy posh people who thought it would be a grand idea to fly over Mount Everest in the early 1930s with relatively basic equipment. It was there I suppose! Pretty decent looking copy with clean cloth boards although a little sun faded at the top edg…e and, especially so, on the spine.Also a little slitting along the outer hinge of the back board, nothing too severe but significant enough to be worthy of a mention in this description. A little toning to the page block edges and end papers. No inscriptions. No dust jacket. Terrific copy on the whole.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in fine, unmarked condition bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, which is sunned and gilt arms of Malvern College to the upper board. There is also a blind illustration embossed into the upper board dated April 1933. This copy is bright,…tight, white and square. There is a prize book plate from Malvern College to the front paste down dated 1934. A dustwrapper is not present. A pail of cardboard spectacles is mounted in an envelope tipped into the rear endpaper. This is to view the Anaglyph photo between pages 222 & 223. 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. The first flight over Mount Everest was undertaken in April 1933 by two Westland aircraft. They were piloted by Douglas Douglas-Hamilton (then known as Lord Clydesdale) and David McIntyre, with Stewart Blacker and Sidney Bonnett in the observer seats. The expedition was financed by Lucy, Lady Houston. Prior to the First World War (1914-18), aircraft were limited to altitudes below about 10,000 feet. Technical advances in military aviation during that war, such as the invention of turbocharged and supercharged aircraft engines, allowed aircraft to reach higher altitudes. In 1918, Alexander Kellas (a British mountaineering physiologist) suggested that aircraft would soon be able to fly over Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft), which would be useful for reconnaissance of potential climbing routes. At that time, the mountain had never been climbed. In 1919, Jean Casale made the first flight to exceed the altitude of Everest, but only for a short period, and actually flying over the mountain would be far more challenging. The main limitation of high altitude flight at this time was keeping the crews alive in the low pressure and cold temperature air. No progress on the idea was made during the 1920s, but in the early 1930s Lord Clydesdale became interested in the concept as an aviation first. Clydesdale was the youngest squadron leader in the Royal Air Force (he commanded 602 Squadron), and the son of Alfred Douglas-Hamilton, 13th Duke of Hamilton. No attempt could be made without substantial funding, so in September 1932 Clydesdale visited Lucy, Lady Houston at Kinrara (her estate in Scotland) to ask her to fund the expedition. The highly nationalistic Lady Houston was excited by the idea that Clydesdale put forward, feeling that flying over Everest would strengthen British rule in India (Houston was an outspoken opponent of the Indian independence movement) and impressed that Clydesdale had worn his kilt for dinner. She agreed to fund the expedition and became involved in its planning. Ref S 6.
