Le Miracle Aerien L'Atlantique De Read A Lindbergh
Paris (1927): Librairie Bernardin-Brechet. Photo Illustrations. First Edition. Original Wrappers. Sm 12mo., 64pp. Very Good.
Original pictorial wrappers, illustrations from photographs including Lindbergh and Read opposite page 8. Read, born in New Hampshire, "...commanded a crew of five on the NC-4 Curtiss Flying boat, the first aircraft ever to make a transatlantic flight, a couple of weeks before Alcock and Brown's non-stop flight, and eight years before Charles Lindbergh's solo non-stop flight" (Wikipedia) Slightly dog-eared, former owner's ink inscription on the title page but a very good copy.
Price: $75.00
