MacDonald & Co. Ltd., 1974 Brown cloth boards very good, dust jacket has 3 inch tears in very good condition, not price clipped. Black and white photos. Content: Dr. Walker's research is meticulous, and of a practical nature; he spent a considerable time in the highlands of Scotland, near Blair Atholl, establishing the geography of the events which took place there when Dunne tried out his machines, and interviewing those few people who could still remember the excitement that it caused. As in the previous volume, the brilliantly researched collection of contemporary photographs is an outstanding feature, and vividly illustrates the story as it is told. There is no comparable account of the birth of British flying, and Dr. Walker is without question the master historian of the period. ; 375 pages. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
