...from the Dawn of Aviation - the Qantas Story 1920 - 1995
STACKHOUSE, John
Focus Publishing Sydney 1995 First Edition
Folio - over 12" - 15" tall Cloth Publishers original blue cloth with gilt lettering to front panel and spine. A fine copy in original cloth slip-case as issued. 224pp including numerous full colour plates, period illustrations and toned photographs within text. This book was published as part of the 75th Anniversary of Qantas celebrations. As the title suggests it relates how Qantas took off from the dry, flat plains of central western Queensland 75 years ago, and rose to the forefront of the international civil aviation industry. The text focuses on people, their foresight, skills, enthusiasm, determination and plain hard work to overcome every challenge they met along the way. Hours of scanning old newspaper files, news releases and published histories pieced together this story of the airline, as well as testimonials of hundreds of Qantas people, old and new, to breath life into and around the framework of the history of Qantas. A magnificent collectors copy of Qantas publication. Fine

13. (slow.) JG 52
Jajlich, Jiri
ISBN: 9788389450500
Mushroom Model Publications Poland 2007
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Soft Cover New book, 112 pages, 184 B&W photos, 27 colour illustrations. The story of the Slovak Air Arm's 13th Squadron is recounted, from its formation following the break-up of Czechoslovakia, through combat on the Eastern Front as part of JG.52, to homeland defence against the USAAF and then action against its former allies, the Germans. With its history maligned and discredited under Communist rule, the true story of this very successful fighter unit can now be told. Mostly flying Bf109s of various versions, the unit also achieved the final biplane aerial victory, as late as 1944, when an Avia B.534 shot down a Ju52. As New
