About This Item
London UK: Ian Allan. Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket. 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. DJ and boards show very light shelf wear. Previous owner has made notations inside front board, dealer's stamp inside front board, price-clipped. ; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. B&W photos throughout. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 175 pages; "The war of 1914-18 was a remarkable and important epoch for many widely different reasons. Not least of these was that it represented the first widespread use of the aeroplane -- which many people thought would be of little military value -- as a major weapon of war. Such thinking was quickly disproved, and the aeroplanes described in this volume illustrate how the military aeroplane developed from the unarmed observation machines of 1914 to the highly effective specialized types that were in service by November 1918." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
