St Mary's Books is proud to present this circa 1930 edition of "Some Famous Air Achievements (Quelques fameux exploits de l'Air)" published by D. Napier & Son. Bound in brown paper with stunning gold gilt illuminated lettering on the cover, this paperback book is held together with pink ribbon. Inside, past the brown free endpapers, one finds 28 pages of text in both English and French, detailing contemporary air achievements connected to the Napier engine, and supplemented by stunning black ink illustrations. This fascinating book highlights the work of the humble Napier engine, which "in all countries, and under all conditions" continues "without a falter, giving the minimum of trouble" and "ever demonstrating to the world the high standard of British engineering". This copy is in very good condition considering its age and rarity - though the frontispiece page is loose, and though there is some very minor foxing to the edges of some pages - the text largely remains remarkably clean and undamaged. "Some Famous Air Achievements" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
