The first UK edition and impression, the true first edition was published in the same year in the US by Reynal & Hitchcock.Dahl's short stories are usually known for their unexpected endings, however this early collection departs from his better known stories, as for most part they don't use suspense and leave out twist endings. Instead, they are more slow-paced and highly reflective.Containing ten short stories of flyers and flying, drawn upon the author's experiences in the R.A.F. Some of the titles comprised are: 'An African Story,' 'Beware of the Dog,' 'Someone Like You,' and 'Yesterday was Beautiful.'With the unclipped dust wrapper. Unfortunately the boards have suffered some damp damage, but this copy is lovely internally. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally sound with minor shelf wear and a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and some damp damage to the boards and spine, particularly to the front board. The dust wrapper is also sound with some shelf wear and spotting to the wraps, some chipping, and a minor loss to the rear wrap and the tail of the spine, with some minor soiling throughout; unclipped. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean. Good
