BIRDS AND FOOLS FLY

by John Urmston

Published by Vernon & Yates. 1st. 1969

Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. Private flying is often viewed as a hobby suitable only for the very rich or the very eccentric. This book completely disproves that view. The author is a busy, practicing doctor in Southern England. How he found time to learn to fly and continue to fly frequently and also to build his own airplane and fly in that. Grey cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w frontis and drawing of airplane to rear.

Endpapers and text block lightly browned. Dustwrapper is slightly browned and a little grubby.
