A interesting and sometimes amusing book on this sport - book and wrapper in near perfect condition - mine is the 1953 2nd edition. >>> Philip Aubrey Wills CBE (26 May 1907 16 January 1978) was a pioneering British glider pilot. He broke several UK gliding records from the 1930s to the 1950s and was involved in UK gliding administration including being Chairman of the British Gliding Association (BGA). - In World War II he was second in command of the Air Transport Auxiliary and for this work was appointed CBE. - After the war he was chairman of the BGA for 19 years, and in 1952 he was Open Class World Champion in the world gliding championships in Spain. In 1964 he was awarded the Lilienthal Gliding Medal of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) for services to gliding. He was a member of the British Gliding Team until 1958.
