Title: This is Model Flying.
Description: London: Elm Tree Books, 1975. 1st edition. "This aviation sport has now reached the stage where some models could easily outclimb a Spitfire at full throttle; others, feather-light, microfilm-covered structures, fly like slow-motion dragonflies in saltmines and airship hangers..The book shows how model flying has progressed far beyond its popular image - miniature replicas of 'real aeroplanes' - into one of the five internationally recognised aviation sports, alongside parachuting, gliding, aerobatics and ballooning." Pp.190, many black & white photos, plans and figure illustrations. Red cloth, dustwrapper rubbed with fading to spine and creasing to top edges. VG/Good.
