Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. Best Foot Forward: The Autobiography of Colin Hodgkinson. Publisher: Oldhams Books Limited, London, 1957, First edition. Hardback with jacket, fading to spine and edges, no inscriptions, minor marks, otherwise very good. Jacket is rubbed, marked, chipped and creased with loss to spine ends. 255 pages with photo. In the whole of the Second World War, only two men succeeded as operational fighter pilots in the RAF after losing both legs. Douglas Bader was one, and his story is well-known indeed, he has been described as one of the Royal Air Forces most famous pilots. The other was Colin Hodgkinson. Colin was injured in a flying accident whilst training with the Fleet Air Arm in 1939. He awoke in hospital to find that his right leg had been amputated at the thigh, whilst his left leg was severely injured. His face was also damaged and he had trouble with the sight in one eye. In the weeks that followed, Colin's remaining leg refused to heal. Coolly, calculatingly, he made his decision: Chop the damned thing off and let's be done with it. Just nineteen at the time, Colin developed a burning determination to prove himself a normal man by becoming a fighter pilot and flying Spitfires. With Douglas Bader as his example, and brilliant surgeons such as Sir Archibald McIndoe treating him, Colin achieved his aim with a hand-tailored pair of tin legs. He proved himself as a fighter pilot flying Spitfires and shot down 2 German fighters until the war ended, for him at least, as a German prisoner of war in November 1943. Although repatriated in September 1944 as 'unfit for further duty', Colin not only continued to fly with the RAF until he left the service in 1946, but also went on to fly jet fighters with the Auxiliary Air Force from 1947 to 1952. His is undoubtedly a story of courage and determination, one in which he had learnt to always stride out into the future, putting his best foot forward.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 29.5 × 25.5cm, 240pp. Signed and dedicated by Michael Hopkins and his wife and fellow architect, Patty, to the ffep. The architecture of Michael Hopkins' (1935-2003) formative years has evolved into something that defies easy stylistic categorization. In buildings such as Glyndebourne Opera House, the Inland Revenue Centre and the New Parliamentary Building, a new individuality has emerged. These works have the uncompromising quality of certain nineteenth-century industrial buildings, yet they have gained acceptance among some of Britain's most ancient institutions. They are often hybrid creations, juxtaposing strongly contrasting elements, while remaining loyal to a strict code of truth to materials and honesty of expression. Traditional and new forms of construction are combined in unconventional ways, often using innovative prefabrication techniques, but without sacrificing traditional craft virtues. Detailed presentations of 26 buildings and projects analyse the genesis and logic of a unique - and now instantly recognizable - architectural scope. This book's publication coincided with Hopkins' most important commission to date - the New Parliamentary Building in London - which enjoys an extensive presentation and detailed discussion by Patrick Hodgkinson. An essay by respected architecture critic Charles Jencks examines themes and historical precedent in the buildings, whereas an interview with Michael Hopkins himself gives a personal perspective to the momentous work and office of Michael Hopkins and Partners. Condition: This copy is in very good condition, but with a few small dents and rubs to the jacket and some minor tanning to the page edges. Otherwise, it's a good solid copy. Signed by Author(s). …
