MONTGON, Adhémar de. L'Aviation. Album. - Lot 228

MONTGON, Adhémar de. L'Aviation. Album. Paris, Hachette, 1938. In-4, publisher's boards illustrated with a world map, 32 pages, 31 illustrations, illustrated inside covers. Cloth missing from spine, some faint foxing to margins of covers. Forty years after the first flights, Hachette publishes this album for young people. From Clément Ader to long-haul Quadrimoteurs, via Louis Blériot and the Aces of the Great War, this is a tribute to aviation, still full of promise. Richly illustrated in color by Marcel Jeanjean (1893-1973), pilot and illustrator, this charming publication takes the reader back to the time of the pioneers of the air. An interesting album on the history of aviation, in good condition.
