Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Original strikingly illustrated colour paper covered boards with burnt orange cloth spine 13x19cm. (2), 19pp. The upper board is near fine; the lower board is abraded to the top third with a small chip to the top edge and small area exposing the board beneath. The interiors are about very good, faintly damp stained to the upper edges. Printed for private circulation, this rare work is not recorded on Worldcat or Library Hub. Undated, but it was apparently serialised over 4 issues of Imperial Airways Gazette (Feb-May 1934). The serialisation is not mentioned here, and this may therefore have predated it. Broadcaster and journalist William Donald Hamilton McCullough (1901-78) wrote this "to avoid telling the same story over and over again, getting more hoarse and less accurate with each repetition" (Author's Note). He seeks to capture the excitement and interest of a long distance Imperial Airways flight in a luxurious Handley Page HP42. Affectionately known as the "flying banana", these were introduced in 1931 and began flying along the London to Karachi route in 1932. Describing his experiences, stopovers, and people met, it begins with a "pleasant and uneventful" flight from Croydon to Paris, then the Orient Express to Brindisi. From here, he flew to Athens aboard Imperial's Short Kent flying boat "Scipio" piloted by Captain Bailey. From Athens he took Imperial's HP42 "Horsa" piloted by Edward Samson Alcock. Stopovers included Rhodes, Limasol, Tiberias (by the Sea of Galilee), Rutba in the Syrian Desert, and Baghdad where he was greeted by his brother and stayed for a few days. From here he took the train to Kirkuk, where his brother's chauffeur took him on a tour of the oilfields. Then on to Mosul, and into the mountains of Kurdistan ("far and away the most interesting part of my stay") where the road had been improved in time for King Faisal's visit a few days earlier, and he travelled part way by donkey. His return to Mosul took him via Dohuk where over 100 Assyrian villagers had been massacred weeks earlier, a sobering discovery, commenting "our guard of half a dozen mounted police was not purely decorative, as I had suspected".…
