New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. First Edition (full number line). Signed on the title page by Hallion with a short inscription and date of June 2007. The author, an authority on aviation, places technological advances within the context of the period, and details the pre-history of flight, balloon and airships, early attempts to invent the airplane, the Wright Brothers and other pioneer and the impact of air power on the outcome of WWI, and flight coming into its important role in military and civil affairs after the War. Well illustrated; many photographic illustrations and diagrams. Hardcover, original jacket in a mylar protective jacket, 7.5x10 inches, 531 pages.
