About

A full biography of Claude Grahame-White, who could be regarded as Britain's foremost aeronaut and pioneer of aviation.

White (1879 – 1959) was the first to make a night flight. He became a national hero overnight after his historic London-to-Manchester air race against Paulhan in 1910.

He was the only man to ever hold the three most coveted gold medals for flying: from the Royal Aero club, the Aero Club de France, and the Aero Club of America. He organised Britain's first air mail service; built and operated the first commercial air-liner; exhibited Britain's first military aircraft; and flew in the first great air raid of the Great War.

Includes monochrome images, portrait on title page.
