St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1928 edition of "The Story of a North Sea Air Station" by C. F. Snowden Gamble. Housed in its original cream dustjacket with a stunning blue illustration of an aeroplane, this hardback book is bound in olive green buckram with gold gilt lettering to the spine. Inside, one finds i-xvi and 446 pages of text, complete with contemporary black and white photographs and an incredibly detailed fold-out map at the back of the book. This incredible book charts the growth of the aerial arm in the Royal Navy and the Imperial German Navy from 1908-1918 using the activity of one air station as background. This copy is in very good condition - though the original dustjacket has suffered some losses, these have been sensitively repaired. The copy remains clean, readable, and remarkably well preserved given its age and rarity. "The Story of a North Sea Air Station" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any military aviation enthusiast.
