[Rarebooks] FS: 1938/39 Surrey Gliding Club Promotional Pamphlet

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1938/39 Surrey Gliding Club Promotional Pamphlet.

Surrey Gliding Club was formed in November, 1938 and had two gliders, a 
winch, and assorted other equipment. They offered subscription 
memberships for both supporters and flying members, with individual 
lessons charged on a daily or hourly rate.

The Chief Instructor was Joan Meakin [Price], a pioneering female pilot 
who “was the first person to be towed to this country from Germany in a 
glider”, and was the only female flyer in Sir Alan Cobham's Flying 
Circus in the mid 1930s. Although aviation of all types was a 
male-dominated field, the Club Secretary was also a woman, Miss Ann 
Edmonds.

Pamphlet. 4.75”x7.25”. 6 pages, 2 illustrations and a map of the gliding 
grounds. Minor soil, light wear. [48629]  $150
