Description
The company history of British aircraft manufacturer Handley Page, from its origins in 1909 to its peerless work during and after the Second World War. Winston Churchill’s contribution comes in the form of a tipped-in facsimile of his congratulatory telegram to Sir Frederick Handley Page on the occasion of the company’s 40th Anniversary.
This is a very good copy of a very rare volume that apparently does not appear in any of the standard Churchill bibliographies. Boards are worn and a bit faded, the contents are fine.
