The Flying Carpet

8th printing. 266pp plus central section of plate illustrations. Coloured maps on endpapers. In red cloth boards with black lettering on spine (boards are very slightly faded, with a hint of rounding at spine ends). Internally neat, clean and bright barring some light toning on endpapers. Tight and square. In its original dust jacket, lightly chapped along upper edge, a little worn on other edges, with small nick at base of a lightly sunned spine. A record of Halliburton's flight around the world in his 'Flying Carpet', and during which he lived with the Foreign Legion and had a strange encounter with slave dealers in Timbuctoo; flew to a height of 18000 feet to photograph Mount Everest; and was entertained by head-hunters in Borneo.
