A very good first edition of one of H.G. Wells' most well-known titles, typically prophetic in its anticipation of aerial warfare.

First edition, first state binding; 8vo; frontispiece and 16 plates illustrated by A.C. Michael, some foxing throughout, browning to free endpapers as often, ownership signature to front free endpaper, bookplate to front pastedown; publisher's blue cloth, lettered in gilt with gilt publisher's device, cloth at spine slightly faded, minor bumping and rubbing to extremities, small mark to upper cover, but overall a very good copy; [viii], 389, [1p. colophon], [2pp. advertisements].
