Description

Gentlemen of Adventure by Ernest K. Gann. 'Here is the story of aviation, from the first clumsy attempts to glide with makeshift machines, to the daring aircraft used in World War I . . . and onward, at an ever-quickning pace, to a near-present that only a few dared to dream. Here too is the story of three fiercely independent individuals: Kiffin Draper and Toby Bryant - pioneer airmen whose friendship was stronger than blood - and Toby's wife Lily, a woman unique in her time. They barnstormed together, flew through the first years of airmail, joined the Lafayette Escadrille, the Eagle Squadron, the Free French Air Force, to fight in foreign revolutions and both World Wars, sharing their magnificent adventures with the likes of Frank Whittle, Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes and many more.' The dust jacket has light general wear with light sunfade of the spine but the book remains tight and bright.
