Description:
Stroud: Skyline, 1994.. 1st edition. "When the airship R101 crashed into a hillside to the north of Paris in October 1930, not only did the ensuing conflagration bring to an end the dreams of an Imperial airship service, it also extinguished some of the most brilliant lights in the aviation community at that time. The Airship Navigator is the author's father, Ermest L.Johnston, who became an airship pilot in the Royal Naval Air Service in 1916 and lost his life in the R101." Pp.205, 24 black & white photo illustrations, owner's name to front free endpaper + 2 newspaper cuttings of airships loosely enclosed. Grey cloth, dustwrapper. VG/VG.
