The National Book League was a precursor to the current Booktrust,
and was set up in 1924 by the Society of Bookmen in order to
promote reading, particularly among the young. To that end, the NBL
issued Reader's Guides on a variety of subjects, each written by an
author with expertise in that field and containing an annotated
bibliography of recommended titles on the subject. Charles
Gibbs-Smith was the leading historian of aviation in the 1960s and
1970s, and published several books on the history of flight in
Europe and America. This Reader's Guide, first published in 1957,
has a detailed bibliography on the histories of a variety of
aircraft, as well as a section on aerial battles from World War One
onwards.
