Subtitle: The Royal Engineers and Early British Aeronautics Author:  Malcolm Hall  Publisher: Amberley () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 256 Dimensions: 24.5 x 17.2 x 1.8 cm +++ by Malcolm Hall +++ The story of early British military aviation is one of trial and error, of triumph and adversity and it all begins with a detachment of the Royal Engineers called the Air Battalion, which had previously been called the Balloon School. Malcolm Hall brings together a thoroughly researched history of military aviation in the pioneer years with a selection of images, some previously unpublished, showing the development of the flying machines, both lighter and heavier than air.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
