$22.00
Published in 1927, Spanning the Pacific: Or A Non-Stop Hop to Japan by John Prentice Langley is a vintage aviation adventure from Barse & Co.'s Aviation Series. Written during the early years of commercial and long-distance flight, the story follows a group of young aviators as they attempt an ambitious journey across the Pacific Ocean toward Japan. Along the way they encounter storms, navigation challenges, mechanical problems, and the excitement of international air travel during aviation's pioneering era. Released during the Golden Age of Aviation, this book reflects the public fascination with flight that swept the world during the 1920s. It was published the same year Charles Lindbergh's historic transatlantic flight captured worldwide attention. This copy retains its original blue cloth boards with black lettering and airplane illustration on the front cover. The interior pages are clean with no writing, highlighting, or ownership markings noted. A wonderful addition to an aviation collection, vintage boys' adventure library, or early twentieth-century book collection.
