Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in glossy pictorial covers. 36 pages. Profusely illustrated with 65 archive photos (black and white) with a further 41 close-up detail views in full color; “detailed 1:72 scale drawings and a centre-spread featuring annotated fuselage structural drawings in 1:48;” and ten color profiles by Ronny Bar. First edition. The AMC [Airco] DH.9A was a British single-engined light bomber that was designed and first used shortly before the end of the First World War. An improvement on the underpowered DH.9, it saw extensive use in post war colonial service. This is the first of John Alcorn’s two-volume study of the rugged de Havilland day bomber and is complete in itself through the early 1920’s. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy with no creases, near like new. Fine.
