Wings of Tomorrow: The Story of the Autogiro, by Juan de la Cierva and Don Rose.

Published in 1931 by Brewer, Warren & Putnam.  First edition.

This 284 page hardcover traces the advent of the modern day helicopter and its creator, the "brilliant thirty-seven year old Spanish aeronautical engineer, " who founded The Pitcairn-Cierva Autogiro Company of America.

Well illustrated with black and white photos and a few diagrams of the machine and its rotating wing design.

Very good condition.  Comes in the sparse dustjacket, which is price clipped, has small corner chips, wrinkling and a little foxing along its spine.  The book, itself, is unmarked, complete and tightly bound.  The jacket is now protected in clear, removable mylar.

Shipping is FREE in the USA.

Thank you for looking!
