St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1968 first edition of "The Great Air Race" by Arthur Swinson. Housed in its original pictorial dustjacket featuring a stunning full-colour painting of the air race, this hardback book is bound in bright red cloth with gold gilt lettering to the spine. Inside, one finds i-xiv and 236 pages of text chronicling the casual beginnings of the MacRobertson International Air Race, a watershed in aviation history "the last flourish of the heroic, pioneer age". This copy, and its original dustjacket, are in very good condition - with only some minor bumping to the corners of the dustjacket and some offsetting to the front free endpaper, this book has been well-preserved and the interior pages are otherwise bright and clean. "The Great Air Race" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
