What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

When the Wright brothers first took to the air and were then quickly followed by the military air arms of the advanced nations, it was not initially expected that it would be possible to fly without being able to see the ground. As early as World War One, however, the airmen risked their lives to develop night flying, and by the 1939-45 conflict fighter aircraft, as well as the slower bombers, were being improved month-by-month in order to achieve a twenty-four hour mastery of the skies.
Now, less than a century after the first aircraft flew, the warplane is impervious to the time of day and conditions outside the cockpit.
In Nightfighter, former RAF officer Ken Delve presents a thorough account of the fascinating developments that have seen this element of military aviation evolve at such pace, with great technical expertise on the part of the designers and daring and skill on the part of the flyers.
