This edition-complete and illustrated, carefully restored for today’s and future generations-honours the original for a new generation of readers and collectors.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this is more than a reprint-it is a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. A must for fans of science fiction classics, adventure science fiction, and anyone drawn to the aura of air travel and the early airship era.
