About This Item
Putnam, 1979. hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8x5x1. 1979 Putnam (London), 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches tall blue cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and line drawings, [6], 637 pp. Very slight soiling and rubbing to covers. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a very good dust jacket which has a couple of small chips to the spine but which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. ~K~ [3.0P] Curtiss-Wright designed and built aircraft for military, commercial, and private markets. But it was the Wright engine division and the longstanding relationship with the US military that would help the company through the difficult years of the Great Depression. In 1937, the company developed the P-36 fighter aircraft, resulting in the largest peacetime aircraft order ever given by the Army Air Corps.
