[Rarebooks] FS: 1938 Surrey Gliding Club

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

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
