"Internationally recognized aviation writers present c omprehensive but concise histories of aircraft of many nations and of wide variety, both military and civil. There are the frail biplanes and triplanes of World War One, their successors of the 1920x and 1930s and the valiant breed of combat a i r c r a ft of World War Two. This was the dawn of the jet age and later volumes bring the wide selection into the swing-wing, supersonic 1970s. Each book in (this) series contains about 50,000 words and around 250 illustrations and, not least , t he f in es t examples of colour views available anywhere. The colour artwork will delight the eye of the historian and modeller alike." Contents: S.E.5A, Boeing P-12E, Focke-Wulf FW 190 A, Hawker Hunter F.6, Vickers Vimy Mks.

Wellington, New Zealand, P. Milburn with Victoria University Press. 1981, First Edition. (ISBN: 0705507807) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Mason skilfully combines Maori and Pakeha cultural traditions in a story which reverses Mason’s typical protagonists to make the parental generation the self-made rebels, and the child Victoria, the force of conservatism. In a New Zealand setting, focuses on a lesbian couple whose feminism cuts across all macho cultures, both European and Maori.

End Of The Golden Weather - A Voyage Into A New Zealand Childhood

Price Milburn, Wellington, 1962, 1st edition. Boards, dj, VG/G. 77pp, dustjacket rubbed especially to the rear panel, a little yellowed, book itself in near fine condition. SIGNED inscription by the author to the Welsh actor Emlyn Williams, dated December 1962 on the endpaper. A unique association copy. Hardback with dustjacket.
¶ Notable & the first successful work by the New Zealand author & actor Bruce Mason. Mason had written several plays by 1958 but had had difficulty in getting them accepted by the colonial New Zealand audience who were used to English theatre. In 1958 Mason saw the Welsh actor Emlyn Williams perform his solo stage show based around the works of Dickens & Dylan Thomas & it was seeing Williams' on stage that gave Mason the idea as to how to get his material accepted. So it was in 1959 that Mason gave the first stage performance of 'Golden Weather', as a monologue, something he would go on to do almost a 1000 times over the next 20 years, his performances always to packed theatres.
