Near new softback, slight edge-wear, no inscriptions. 151 pages, illustrated This story captures the joy of flying, the excitement of training as a bomber pilot - and the horror of being shot down and captured in World War II.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. ix, 229 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. ; ISBN 9783540199137, 3540199136 ; OCLC 34548561 ; LCCN 96013224 ; LOC No QB82.G7 S63 1996 ; stiff paper wrappers ; In Small Astronomical Observatories, Patrick Moore has collected descriptions of amateur and small professional observatories currently in use in Europe and America, showing how many astronomers have built their own observatory, often with effective and sometimes extraordinary improvisations to reduce the cost. There is a photograph of each, along with details of its construction and a foreword written by Patrick Moore. In addition to providing a fascinating study for its own sake, Small Astronomical Observatories offers a unique fund of ideas and practical details for anyone who wants to build an amateur or small professional observatory. ; Contents: A Practical Roll-off Roof Observatory in Michigan, USA / Dennis Allen -- Mount Tuffley Observatory in Gloucester, England / John Fletcher -- A Solar Observatory with a Slide Roof in Jordanstown, Northern Ireland / Bruce Hardie -- The Edenvale Observatory in Edenvale, South Africa / M.
