Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Publication of this book, co-authored by Alan Bramson and Neville Birch, in 1964 told for the first the full story of the Tiger Moth (TM), which became famous as a World War Two training aircraft. Since then numerous books on the TM have appeared with few unfolding the story to the extent of the Bramson/Birch joint effort. For that reason it remains a standard reference of the aircraft to this day. Their account runs from the conception, the sometimed dfficult gestation stages, through the various experimental TM till the standard model emerged late in the 1930s. By the time WWII began it had already proved popular with private owners and flying clubs, and as a RAF trainer. War may have brought fame to the TM. but for many years after it continued as a successful civilian and military trainer and was adopted to many uses including agricultural work, glider towing, in-flight advertising, wing walking and giving aerobatic displays. to name a few. As a warrior the TM had already served in numerous roles such as coastal patrol, makeshift bomber and air ambulance. In this aviation classic no source of information slipped by in compiling this comprehensive account. The TM was to become a prize for vintage aircraft collectors, which has ensured the survival of the breed in static displays, with some still airworthy today. Almost 9000 TM were manufactured, some in licenced production in Commonweath coutries. The book is outstanding for factors other than the story it tells. Its several appendices include lists for service and reserve flying schools using the TM 1937-54, production summaries for UK and overseas, works and registration numbers for UK and overseas orders and those produced in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The first edition was followed by a reprint in 1965, with this third revised and updated edition appearing in 1970. It contained 12 additional pages of text, 12 pages of added photographs and the extensive appendices which include registration numbers, date of manufacture, owners, works or service numbers and, where known, the name/address, registrations and works numbers of 250 TMs with current CofAs in 22 countries at September 1970. Third edition has 268 pages, illustrated with almost 90 b/w photos, several technical drawings and cut-aways including power plants, camouflace schemes, three views- and a family tree of DH aircraft leading to the ultimate TM. Blue hard covers with gilt spine titles are VG+, text block excellent, no inscriptions. VG+ DJ had art front panel photo to rear. Small section clipped from lower front flap.…
