London: British Overseas Airways Corporation, n.y. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Blue cloth with gilt lettering, dust jacket. (Ca. 100pp), 24pp. Extensive color maps. Near fine/very good. Mild jacket wear, mainly a slightly age-toned spine with chips at head and tail. Item #48666

Probable first and sole edition. Handsome and tight world atlas published by the British state-owned airline, which in 1974 became British Airways. Undated, but seemingly of 1950s vintage, this diminutive atlas demonstrates that as one leaf advertises "BOAC Flies to All Six Continents," and its many excellent maps all show flight routes. Scarce, especially in the dust jacket.
