SUPERMARINE SEAFIRE (CROWOOD AVIATION SERIES)

by Kev Darling

Published by The Crowood Press. 1st. 2008

Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Always overshadowed by its far more famous sibling, the Spitfire, the Seafire was an aircraft adapted in haste to fill a large gap in the Fleet Air Arm's fighter inventory... Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and diagrams.

Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased with a small closed tear to lower rear spine edge (no loss).
