FIFTIES

Each of the seventeen metal halftone printing blocks is roughly 10 cm square, and nailed to a mahogany block (roughly 10 x 10 x 2 cm). Each carries a number, in the bottom left-hand corner when printed: 7, 8, 9, 15 (two), 16 (two), 25, 27, 36, 38 (two), 39, 54, 56, 59, 60. (Three of the numbers are duplicated, but the illustrations are all different.) The last block (60) has the signature 'e. jeffrey' in type at the head.

12mo, 133 pp. Hundreds of neat entries, in a small hand, written lengthwise on graph-paper pages in a red-cloth 'Memoranda' book ('Compliments of Ingersoll-Rand Co., Limited, 165, Queen Victoria St., London, E.C.4.'). Good: with text clear and complete on lightly-aged paper, in the original worn red binding. Many entries are dated (with a few also giving the dates on which various planes crashed), and among the airports referred to are Northolt, Yeovil, Radlett, Cowes, Rochester, Guernsey, Jersey, Peterborough, White Waltham, Hanworth Park, Elstree, Cranfield, Luton.
