Janic Geelen; James, O.G. [Introduction]
The Topdressers
367 pages. Generously illustrated with colour and black and white photos. Endpapers attractively illustrated with logos of aerial spraying companies. "Tells for the first time the remarkable story of aerial topdressing in New Zealand. It begins with Len Daniell, who tried to interest the Government in providing an aircraft for trials in 1926, and ends with an industry poised on the brink of change. Explains how aircraft and aviators flew out onto the farm and fertilised vast areas of unproductive land from the air, an achievement unparalleled in modern agriculture, and significant in the history of world aviation." - dust jacket. Book unmarked with average wear. Binding tight. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade brodart. A sound copy of this fascinating and informative history.
