About This Item
London : William Heinemann, (1933). First edition. International Aircraft and Airways Inc. collapses in 1987 after fifty years of oligarchy in guarding and upholding peace (by war and tyranny if necessary) - a "Pax Aeronautica" tale, providing an interesting contrast and a rather less optimistic vision than that of H. G. Wells's "The Shape of Things to Come", which was published in the same year. "Truthfully, I am not certain of Mr. Arlen's conclusions. At any rate, he has given us a story the tremendous drive of which shatters all criticism, leaving only an excited admiration ... a splendid story splendidly told" (Richard King in "The Tatler", 1st February 1933). Crown 8vo (21cm). [4],xx,(380)pp.Original black cloth, lettered in gilt; a few very minor marks and spots; top edge a touch dusty, but a very good, bright, clean and sound copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket with some mild edge-wear, but also very good.
