Sailplanes: 1920-1945 - Martin Simons. Published by EQIP Werbung & Verlag GmbH, Hardback (illustrated boards, no dust jacket) 2001. Illustrated. Language: English. This book describes and illustrates more than 120 types of sailplane, designed, built and flown in many countries during the quarter century following the first organised gliding competition on the Wasserkuppe in 1920. The astonishing achievements of designers and builders, lacking modern materials and production methods, and the flights made by the pilots of those times, deserve to be recorded and remembered. Condition: Very good. The pages are clean and tightly bound. No discolouration or dust found along the outside edges. The illustrated cover shows no discolouration, only a couple of small indentations on the back.
