    Written by Francis Chichester, who was a Air Navigation Specialist who was awarded the Johnston Memorial Trophy for Navigation in 1931.

    Condition

    In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart. There is some bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Internally, loosely bound.
