Wild Blue Yonder Flying Stories of Amazement and Wonder

Brisbane: University of Queensland Press, 1996. Octavo, printed wrappers, (ix), 288 pp., 16 double-sided illustrated plates. Mild foxing throughout, otherwise a good copy. Wild Blue Yonder tells the stories of a handful of the world's most adventurous aviators. Here are balloonists who placed their faith in the vagaries of the wind; early pilots who put their lives on the line in unreliable wood and wire contraptions; and the swashbuckling pioneers of the 1920s and 1930s - aviation's Golden Age.
