From dust jacket: Bombs were dropped from an aeroplane at least as early as November 1911, nearly three years before the outbreak of the First World War, and hence the bomber may claim to ante-date the fighter aeroplane as a weapon of war. At any rate, while there were no true fighters in existence in August 1914, there were bombers -- from the frail Voisins of France to the giant four-engined Russian Ilya Mourometz. The ensuing four years of war provided the forcing-ground for such outstanding and varied bomber designs as the Gotha Grossflugzeuge, the Breguet 14 and the Handley Page O/400; and the submarine menace spurred development of the flying boat patrol bomber, culminating in the first-class Felixstowe designs. Throughout the war, the evolution of reconnaissance aircraft progressed to the extent that, to succeed the frail, defenceless Taube and Albatros machines of 1914, armed 2-seaters were evolved that in 1918 could out-fly and out-climb some of the ablest fighters in service. The 66 aircraft in this volume reflect the development of such aircraft throughout the first truly formative period in military aviation history. The period 1914 - 19 is selected as to include certain important types designed during the war, but which arrived too late for combat service.

Hadback. Dust Jacket, Both in Near Fine condition, Large Format. Not Inscribed, Fully illustrated throughout. 160 Pages. Green cloth boards with gold lettering to spine. Profusely illustrated to the end papers. Highly decorated Dust Jacket, price clipped. 'Only vicars' daughters become naturalists' was the response the author received from her father, a wagon weighman at a Yorkshire colliery, when she declared her life ambition. Later, Mari Friend did study botany, biology and horticulture and in 1980 returned to live in her native Yorkshire in a farmhouse on the edge of Shipley Glen outside Bradford. There, she and her husband, with the help of Countryside Commission grants started the Bracken Hall Countryside Centre. Very soon it welcomed over 35,000 visitors a year - one of its main attractions being a wildlife room in which adults and children could follow the fascinating or strange life cycles of water creatures in tanks, and of bees in an observation hide. Small Wonder is the result of Mari Friend's many years' experience of keeping small animals through the seasons and of sharing her enthusiasm with the visitors and the culmination of her life=long study of the natural world. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout. her text - fascinating, anecdotal and yet packed with information - will capture the adult imagination while her slightly larger-than-life illustrations compel the attention of children of all ages. …

Duodecimo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters and decoration to upper cover, 178 pp. Near-Fine, with neat bookplate; in a Very Good dust jacket with lighly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: Nearly a hundred years before the Wright brothers made their historic flight at the Kill Devil Hills, Sir George Cayley wrote that 'a new era in society will commence from the moment that aerial navigation is familiarly realised." At the turn of the century, Europe and America abounded with aeronautical theorists, whose only successful flights were those of their own imaginations. There were, however, a select few who brought a reasoned scientific approach to the question of powered flight, pre-eminent among twhom were Orville and Wilbur Wright. Once the WRights had demonstrated, with their 1903 and 1905 Flyers, that powered flight was not only possible but practical, there soon emerged a host of fellow pioneers, each determined to take part in and develop this new and challenging means of locomotion. Men like Bleriot, Cody, Farman and Roe, who blazed their own highly individual trails to success; men (and women) like Lilian Bland, Ellehammer and Phillips, whose efforts, though of lesser significance historically, were no less praiseworthy; and men like Curtiss, Fokker, Grahame-White, the Moranes, the Shorts and the Voisins, who laid the commercial foundations of a new world-wide industry. In this unique volume they and many other famous contemporary pioneers are described, and 79 of their historic aeroplanes are illustrated for the first time by general arrangement drawings in full colour.
