The Aircraft of the World authored by William Green and Gerald Pollinger published in 1953 is widely regarded by enthusiasts as a smaller version of the prestigious "Jane's All The World's Aircraft". The book was designed to provide a thorough record of virtually every aircraft type in existence at the time of publication, ranging from vintage crop-dusters to cutting edge supersonic jets. Renowned for detailed recognition silhouettes drawn by Dennis Punnett, essential for aircraft identification. This copy is specially bound in quarter navy leather with navy cloth sides. Top edge gilt. It contains, not only Dennis Punnett's signature, to the front free endpaper, but a special inscription signed from the author William Green to Dennis Punnett, thanking him for his contribution. Overall a very good copy with just a little fading to the spine. A fascinating book and one to treasure especially with the signatures present. A must for any aviation enthusiast.
