St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1918 edition of "Dans le Ciel de la Patrie" with text by J. Cocteau and illustrations by Benito. Bound with a pictorial cover featuring a beige aerial map of a city complete with striking black text and a roundel, this hardback book has charming illustrated free endpapers featuring flying storks and other insignia. Inside, one finds beautiful full-colour abstract and realistic aviation illustrations alongside french language text. In addition, there are the names and photographs of several notable French aviators. This copy is in good to very good condition. The corners of the boards are bumped and the boards themselves are slightly warped. However, the interior of the book remains clean and readable, and the illustrations appear bright and vibrant. "Dans le Ciel de la Patrie" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
