The paper dust cover is in fairly good condition with scuffs, yellowing and small tears at the corners. The book is in pretty good condition with some yellowing. Previously owner by The Technical College, Blackpool.

It's a book that was likely used by the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), founded at the outbreak of World War II. A civilian service which ferried RAF and RN warplanes between factories, maintenance units and front-line squadrons. Men and Women of the ATA flew many different types of planes, in all weather conditions, without radios or instrument flying instruction!
