BOREIKO, DMITRI - Osnovi Aviacii [Aviation Technology, produced for the military Academy
St. Petersburg, 1917, First Edition. Soft Cov.. Royal 8vo, 418Pp. Very Good/No Jacket.¶ Including a complete mathematical and engineering understanding of heavier than air flight with innumerable diagrams, equations and pictures of early planes as well as planes from various of the warring nations. This was produced just before the Bolshevik revolution, and shows the very high level of aeronautic capability among Russian designers at the time. The book seems impossibly rare. I have not been able to find a copy in an American library, at KVK, COPAC, Not in Brockett I or II, the Czech library or any library in KVK or Gabriel. There is also no record of a copy for sale. This copy is in a brochure binding, the original front wrap laid down on heavier paper. The title page has been torn and repaired, without loss..
