Major C. C. Turner 



THE OLD FLYING DAYS. " Many books about the air seem to have 

 been forced unwillingly into existence by their author's sense of duty or 

 responsibility. Major Turner's book, on the other hand, is a spontaneous 

 story that demanded writing." " The Morning Post." 



A. G. Linney 



PEEPSHOW OF THE PORT OF LONDON. With good illustra- 

 tions (nearly all from photographs he has himself taken, often in odd 

 places), apt quotations, felicitous expression, and much technical know- 

 ledge, so good a book as this on a great subject deserves as I feel sure it 

 will get a warm welcome from all. " The Observer." 



Charles Dixon 



PARACHUTING. " The book makes exciting reading. This book will 

 be of interest for the record it gives of remarkable accidents. More exciting 

 than any film." " Morning Post." 



THE CONQUEST OF THE ATLANTIC BY AIR. Theconquest 

 of the North Atlantic by air in the past ten years has been one of the 

 most exciting adventures in the history of flying. Famous airmen of 

 many nationalities have ventured to span that mighty ocean. 



Mabel Kitty Gibbard 



HOBBIES FOR GIRLS. Regard has been paid to the need of the 

 school girl or the junior in business, both usually blessed with very little 

 pocket money. Some hobbies are so expensive that the girl we have in 

 mind is frightened off, but here she will find several hobbies which can 

 be thoroughly enjoyed on a minimum outlay. 



HOBBIES, SPORTS AND PASTIMES FOR GIRLS. Cycling* 

 rambling, hare and hounds, days in the woodlands, are all dealt with. 

 Photography and drawing are shown to be the most excellent hobbies. 



G. Gibbard Jackson 



THE BOOK OF THE SHIP. "The author deals with the clippers 

 and the great days of sail : the coming of steam, and the development of 

 warships and merchant ships, great and small, down to the coming of 

 the motor ship and the electric ship. Cannot fail to interest a boy." 

 " Morning Post." 



BRITISH LOCOMOTIVES. "There are few boys who can 

 resist the appeal of machinery in mass as represented by the railway engine. 

 A wealth of information regarding ' iron monsters ' from early nineteenth 

 century days onwards, is contained in this fine book." " The Scotsman." 



THE ROMANCE OF THE SUBMARINE. " It is a picturesquely 

 written and keenly interesting account of the history of the submarine." 

 " The Scotsman."
