St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1935 first edition of "The Boy's Romance of Aviation" by Captain A. O. Pollard. Housed in its original dark blue dustjacket featuring a black and white illustration of an aeroplane in flight, this hardback book is bound in navy buckram with gold gilt lettering to the spine. Inside, one finds 327 pages of text, supplemented by stunning diagrams, illustrations, and contemporary black and white photographs. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to a comprehensive account of the progress of aviation from the earliest legends until the time of writing in 1935, noting the influence of war on aviation, and highlighting developments in engineering and construction. This copy is in very good condition, with only some minor foxing on the prelims to report, it remains remarkably clean and well-preserved. In addition, the original dustjacket, other than some minor creasing and damage, can also be described as well-preserved. "The Boy's Romance of Aviation" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
