Beautiful rare copy of the 1959 vintage children\'s book, \"Show Me the World of Modern Airplanes\" written by celebrated author Julian May.
Published by Pennington Press, this book offers a nostalgic mid-century look at aviation, featuring gorgeous full-page illustrations of retro aircraft, detailed cockpit instrument panels, and historical planes.About the Author: This book is a fascinating find for fans of the late, great Julian May (1931–2017). While she is globally renowned as a powerhouse science fiction and fantasy author—famous for her award-winning Saga of Pliocene Exile and the Galactic Milieu Series—she took a hiatus from adult sci-fi early in her career.
During the 1950s through the 1970s, May authored over 250 educational children\'s non-fiction books covering history, sports, and science. This book is a pristine window into that mid-century era of her writing career.Condition Details: Good
