Balloons, Airships and Flying Machines
London: T.C. & E.C. Jack, 1905. Octavo, original attractive illustrated cloth, 124 pp., quaint vignettes throughout. Endpapers are foxed and front free endpaper clipped at top-edge; the text-block itself has been bumped resulting in some creased corners. Otherwise a most attractive copy. A most readable account of ballooning from the earliest discoveries of the Montgolfier Brothers through to the turn-of-the-century. Chapters include ballooning and scientific observation, early military ballooning applications (including the American Civil War) and the advent of the airship. Item #1800
Price (AUD): $125.00
