British Light Aeroplanes: Their Evolution, Development and Perfection 1920–1940. (First Edition)
ORD-HUME, Arthur W.J.G. British Light Aeroplanes: Their Evolution, Development and Perfection 1920–1940. Peterborough: GMS Enterprises, 2000.
Quarto. Original publisher's blue cloth. Spine gilt. Pictorial dust jacket. 656 pp., illustrated throughout with monochrome photographs and technical diagrams. First and only edition.
The two decades between the Armistice and the outbreak of the Second World War were among the most extraordinary in the history of aviation. British light aeroplane design during this period, driven by a combination of peacetime optimism, technological advancements, and the surge of amateur flying clubs, produced an astonishing diversity of new aircraft types.
Arthur Ord-Hume's survey of this period is the most comprehensive single-volume treatment of the subject in print: a meticulous examination of every significant British light aeroplane type produced between 1920 and 1940, covering design, development, technical construction, performance, and operational history across 656 densely illustrated pages.
Fine in a fine unclipped pictorial dust jacket. Free from markings and extremely well preserved. Contents clean, fresh, and bright throughout.
