Interesting history of the British airship R 100 on its visit to Canada in 1930. Designed by Barnes Wallis it was a successful design unlike the government sponsored R101 which crashed on its maiden flight.  Profusely illustrated with b/w photos and comes with a 45 rpm record of 2 versions of the “R100 song” (usually lost in other books) written in 1930 in honour of the event.  Fascinating material. Hardbound with d/j (one small tear), excellent condition.  *(a complimentary cd copy of the 45rpm record is now included with the book).
