A propos de cet article

Publication: London, Eveleigh Nash, 1912 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xi, [i], 156. Condition Report: Good. The binding remains structurally firm and tight, though the original blue cloth boards exhibit significant damp-mottling, discolouration, and spotting, alongside a tanned spine that is gently rubbed at the head and tail. The gilt tooling to the front board, featuring vignettes of monoplanes and a coastal flight scene, retains some brightness but is subdued by the surface marking and wear. The extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed. The text block edges are tanned with scattered foxing, which extends to the preliminary leaves, including the frontispiece and title page, while the main body of text remains generally clean and highly legible throughout. Catalogue Note: First edition.ÂThe book is generously illustrated with sixty photographic plates, including a frontispiece portrait of the author in his monoplane, which bears a printed facsimile signature in the margin. The book is dedicated to the acclaimed French poet and playwright Edmond Rostand, who also provided a prefatory sonnet for this edition. Andrà Beaumont was the famous pseudonym of Lieutenant Jean Louis Camille Conneau, a pioneering French aviator who dominated the early European aviation circuit. This title remains an uncommon and highly desirable primary source in the field of early aeronautics, capturing the advent of competitive cross-country flight. A fascinating firsthand account of the golden age of aviation by Lieutenant Jean Conneau, writing under his famous pseudonym Andrà Beaumont. In My Three Big Flights, Beaumont chronicles his extraordinary aerial triumphs of 1911, winning the grueling Paris-Rome race, the Circuit of Europe, and the celebratedÂDaily Mail Circuit of Britain. Through vivid, immediate prose and a wealth of contemporary photographs, the aviator offers readers a thrilling cockpit view of early flight, capturing the peril, the endurance, and the romantic spirit of pioneering aeronautics.…
