Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good-. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. There is an ink name "W E Johns" on the title page, but this does not look to me like an authentic signature in several respects - it looks scratchy and indecisive, the line beneath has a squiggle in it unlike the straight line under other Johns si…gnatures, and the "n" actually looks like an "n", instead of like a "u" or an "a" as in other Johns' signatures. NB: This is being sold with no assurances about the authenticity of the signature, about which I have doubts. Fading to ends of spine and margins of boards. Ink number on front endpaper. 25mm chips missing at head and tail of dust-jacket spine. 12mm chip to lower margin of front panel of dust-jacket. 22 x 4mm chip at head of front flap fold of dust-jacket. The red price lettering on the dust-jacket spine has faded to being nearly invisible, but held at the right angle it can be seen that "3/6 NET" was printed on the dust-jacket spine. Quite heavy foxing to dust-jacket spine. No repairs to dust-jacket. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; First printing. 224 pages. Blue cloth boards with black lettering and publisher's sundial emblem on spine. Page dimensions: 182 x 121mm. A collection of 20 true aviation stories, each titled "My Most Thrilling Flight", by 20 different contributors. Edited by W. E. Johns. Chapter 4 is by W. E. Johns. Dust-jacket art by Howard Leigh. Rear panel of dust-jacket lists 17 titles in the "Ace" series, the last title listed is "The Camels Are Coming".
