	BLAIR CHARLES F Red Ball in the Sky Jarrolds, U.K. 1970. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. xiv, 208 pages which includes an index. Illustrated with black and white plates. Foreword by Lowell Thomas. ' One sunny day in May 1951 a bareheaded man in tweeds streaked across the top of the world in one of the great flights of history. The pilot was Charles Blair; and this was the first long distance solo flight across any polar region, demonstrating that non-military transpolar flights were feasible. It proved too that the Arctic Ocean was no longer a barrier against air attack. As a result Blair was invited by the Strategic Air Command to help develop a new scheme of military tactics, thus becoming the only regular fighter pilot who, as a Pan Am captain, also flew airliners to Europe at weekends. Blair tells too of his pioneering achievements in flying boats, of the Air Mail pilots with whom he flew across the Rockies, of his dash in a P-51 from New York to London on the crest of a winter jet stream, and of his leading the first flight of jet fighters to cross the North Pole. Above all an action story, Red Ball in the Sky is the engrossing autobiography of one of America's most distinguished flyers-and of a man whose warnings about the spreading technology of thermonuclear weapons must be listened to with respect '.

	CADOGAN MARY Women with Wings : Female Flyers in Fact and Fiction Macmillan, U.K. 1992. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. 280 pages with an index. Illustrated with black and white plates. "Women with Wings is a perceptive and highly entertaining celebration of the achievements of female flyers from eighteenth-century balloonists to today's astronauts. For decades female aviators had to defy social prejudices despite achieving remarkable feats of skill and endurance. From 1910, women pilots in America performed death-defying stunts, and in England during the 1920s, a clutch of aristocratic aviatrices were flipping from continent to continent in their private planes. By the 1930s, women had produced an abundance of record-makers - Amy Johnson, Amelia Earhart, Jean Batten and Beryl Markham among them. The Second World War recruited British and American women to ferry fighters and bombers from factories and airfields, and produced some outstanding pilots from Germany and Russia. Post War developments included long-distance record flights and the growth of opportunity in commercial flight, space exploration and with the air forces. As well as charting women's progress in aviation, Women with Wings considers fictional images of female flyers in comic-strips, magazines and books - from girls' adventure tales to Mills & Boon romances. Generally speaking, fictional aviatrices, such as W.E. Johns's Worrals, Wonderwoman and Vanessa from Venus, achieve success more easily than their real-life counterparts, and have become exuberant symbols of liberation and feminist achievement. This enlightening book is a thorough and diverting probe into the development of female aviation as it is - and as we would like it to be." Book - Near Fine - slight bumping to ends of spine.

	CULL BRIAN AND SHLOMO ALONI WITH DAVID NICOLLE Spitfires Over Israel : The First Authoritative Account of the Air Conflict During the Israeli War of Independence 1948-49 Grub Street, U.K. 1994. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Undated but the British Library show it as [1994?] and there is no reason to assume this is anything other than a first edition. 360 pages, size 9.25 inches tall by 6.25 inches. Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs. 'Spitfires Over Israel is a thorough and informative account of the air conflict during the Middle East War of 1948-49. The result not only of painstaking research but also extensive collaboration between three authors of differing backgrounds and sympathies, this is a valuable and deliberately balanced account of the events in the air during that crucial war. Brian Cull represents the "British" point of view, as well as that of the many dozens of international volunteers who flocked to Israel's aid. Shlomo Aloni, an Israeli historian, naturally reflects his country's attitude and position. By contrast, David Nicolle has been a staunch supporter of the Arab cause since the early 1960s. Together the authors have produced an exciting, interesting and revealing account, which by combining their various specializations is as accurate and unbiased as possible. Including over 200 photographs, their study quotes extensive extracts from interviews and correspondence with American, Canadian, South African, British and Israeli volunteer pilots, along with former Egyptian Air Force personnel and former RAF pilots who were involved in the 1948-49 conflict. The book also traces the roots of civil and military aviation in the Middle East back to the early days of the 20th Century, and includes the region's involvement in both world wars. It is an unprecedented and significant contribution to our understanding of air war in the Middle East and most specifically the controversial RAF Israeli combat in January 1949.'

Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Very Good++. 91 pages with illustrations by 'Vicky'+ 2 page publisher's advert at rear. This little book of air nonsense fills an obvious gap. The absurdities of motoring are put on the spot for ever in the classic 'You Have Been Warned'; and it is clear that motoring's younger brother, aviation, offers just as many opportunities to the humorist. These opportunities have been seized with great gusto by Mr. Stoker, and everyone who knows anything at all of flying will revel in his dry wit-also in the inconsequent drawings of his artist, who consistently goes astray when illustrating even the simplest situations. Their joint exposure of the strange things that go on in the 'flying racket' would make even a scarecrow laugh. Book Fine - usual slight browning to endpapers & page edges & to extreme foot of spine.

Illustrated with black and white plates. Foreword by Lowell Thomas. ' One sunny day in May 1951 a bareheaded man in tweeds streaked across the top of the world in one of the great flights of history. The pilot was Charles Blair; and this was the first long distance solo flight across any polar region, demonstrating that non-military transpolar flights were feasible. It proved too that the Arctic Ocean was no longer a barrier against air attack. As a result Blair was invited by the Strategic Air Command to help develop a new scheme of military tactics, thus becoming the only regular fighter pilot who, as a Pan Am captain, also flew airliners to Europe at weekends. Blair tells too of his pioneering achievements in flying boats, of the Air Mail pilots with whom he flew across the Rockies, of his dash in a P-51 from New York to London on the crest of a winter jet stream, and of his leading the first flight of jet fighters to cross the North Pole.

	CADOGAN MARY Women with Wings : Female Flyers in Fact and Fiction Macmillan, U.K. 1992. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. 280 pages with an index. Illustrated with black and white plates. "Women with Wings is a perceptive and highly entertaining celebration of the achievements of female flyers from eighteenth-century balloonists to today's astronauts. For decades female aviators had to defy social prejudices despite achieving remarkable feats of skill and endurance. From 1910, women pilots in America performed death-defying stunts, and in England during the 1920s, a clutch of aristocratic aviatrices were flipping from continent to continent in their private planes. By the 1930s, women had produced an abundance of record-makers - Amy Johnson, Amelia Earhart, Jean Batten and Beryl Markham among them. The Second World War recruited British and American women to ferry fighters and bombers from factories and airfields, and produced some outstanding pilots from Germany and Russia. Post War developments included long-distance record flights and the growth of opportunity in commercial flight, space exploration and with the air forces. As well as charting women's progress in aviation, Women with Wings considers fictional images of female flyers in comic-strips, magazines and books - from girls' adventure tales to Mills & Boon romances. Generally speaking, fictional aviatrices, such as W.E. Johns's Worrals, Wonderwoman and Vanessa from Venus, achieve success more easily than their real-life counterparts, and have become exuberant symbols of liberation and feminist achievement. This enlightening book is a thorough and diverting probe into the development of female aviation as it is - and as we would like it to be." Book - Near Fine - slight bumping to ends of spine.

	CULL BRIAN AND SHLOMO ALONI WITH DAVID NICOLLE Spitfires Over Israel : The First Authoritative Account of the Air Conflict During the Israeli War of Independence 1948-49 Grub Street, U.K. 1994. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Undated but the British Library show it as [1994?] and there is no reason to assume this is anything other than a first edition. 360 pages, size 9.25 inches tall by 6.25 inches. Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs. 'Spitfires Over Israel is a thorough and informative account of the air conflict during the Middle East War of 1948-49. The result not only of painstaking research but also extensive collaboration between three authors of differing backgrounds and sympathies, this is a valuable and deliberately balanced account of the events in the air during that crucial war. Brian Cull represents the "British" point of view, as well as that of the many dozens of international volunteers who flocked to Israel's aid. Shlomo Aloni, an Israeli historian, naturally reflects his country's attitude and position. By contrast, David Nicolle has been a staunch supporter of the Arab cause since the early 1960s. Together the authors have produced an exciting, interesting and revealing account, which by combining their various specializations is as accurate and unbiased as possible. Including over 200 photographs, their study quotes extensive extracts from interviews and correspondence with American, Canadian, South African, British and Israeli volunteer pilots, along with former Egyptian Air Force personnel and former RAF pilots who were involved in the 1948-49 conflict. The book also traces the roots of civil and military aviation in the Middle East back to the early days of the 20th Century, and includes the region's involvement in both world wars. It is an unprecedented and significant contribution to our understanding of air war in the Middle East and most specifically the controversial RAF Israeli combat in January 1949.'

Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Very Good++. 91 pages with illustrations by 'Vicky'+ 2 page publisher's advert at rear. This little book of air nonsense fills an obvious gap. The absurdities of motoring are put on the spot for ever in the classic 'You Have Been Warned'; and it is clear that motoring's younger brother, aviation, offers just as many opportunities to the humorist. These opportunities have been seized with great gusto by Mr. Stoker, and everyone who knows anything at all of flying will revel in his dry wit-also in the inconsequent drawings of his artist, who consistently goes astray when illustrating even the simplest situations. Their joint exposure of the strange things that go on in the 'flying racket' would make even a scarecrow laugh. Book Fine - usual slight browning to endpapers & page edges & to extreme foot of spine.
