Beyond the Blue Horizon On the Track of Imperial Airways
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1986. Quarto, navy cloth with purple papered boards, (xvii), 430 pp., two page map illustration on preliminary leaves. Tape-marked on dust jacket, foxing throughout, frayed on front inner hinge, otherwise a good copy. Using accounts from the Imperial Airways archives, as well as conversations with veteran pilots of the era, Frater has evoked the buoyant, idiosyncratic, pioneering world of civil aviation in the 1930s. Beyond the Blue Horizon is also about civil aviation today. An absorbing record of Frater's progress through twenty nations with twenty-two airlines. Item #3253
