Lot x 2 Flight Magazine
Published weekly, 1916, London by the Aero Club of the United Kingdom.
2 issues, each c. 50 pages plus wrappers. Text in English. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated. Great early aviation mag.

Scarce lot x 2 vintage British aviation magazines with pleasin.g visual content. Issues included in this lot: March 30th & April 6th 1916.

Bindings remain overall sound, covers detached on one issue, various typical mostly small signs of age, time and handling such as dog-eared page corners, light creasing, etc., but nothing offensive or major. Overall remains a nice looking example.

Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the lot survives.

Virtually all periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) is likely among a relative handful of those produced still extant. As each decade goes back from 1960, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably for a variety of reasons, including paper drives, storage related issues, normal discarding of out-dated (and now desirable) magazines, etc.

Text block remains overall clean and displays a pleasing age patina, various normal signs of reading, browsing and handling which are all but inevitable and to be expected.

Magazines remain attractive on the shelf. Lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this vintage item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners over the past decades. Try to feel happy it even survives and is available if you want it versus feeling unhappy that it isn't perfect or like new.

Magazines Measure c. 12 1/4" H x 8 3/4" W.
