Title: Photographs from the Mount Everest Flight.
Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1933.
Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!!

Notes: A fascinating in-depth look at the outstanding aerial photography obtained on the second Mount Everest Flight of April 19th, 1933, days after the first dramatic attempt of April 3rd which failed to obtain a photo of the summit when the photographer blacked out due to a ruptured oxygen line.

Explicit commentary outlines the unique methods, equipment employed and objectives served in the photography of: Mount Everest and Makalu from the south - a distance of about forty miles; the summit of Mount Everest from a little south of east; the summit and last section of the North-East Ridge; Makalu seen over the summit of Everest; Everest and Makalu from the south-west and Chamlang from the north. Superb photographs complete a fascinating paper.

The Houston-Westland was manned by Lord Clydesdale and Col. Blacker and the Westland-Wallace by Flt. Lt. MacIntyre and Mr. A. L. Fisher, one of the cinematographers of the Gaumont-British Film Corporation. The object of the second flight, as far as Lord Clydesdale's machine was concerned, was to obtain a series of overlapping vertical pictures which would provide a complete survey of the whole strip of country towards the summit of Everest; Mr. Fisher took films almost continuously and Col. Blacker took oblique photographs as well as the survey strips.

Excerpt from the Text: "Permission to fly over Nepal was limited to direct flights to Mount Everest and back to Purnea. The very high wind on the second flight made it necessary to set a course considerably to the west until near the mountain, and to this fortunate impediment we owe the very interesting pictures from the south-west that make the same country look so very different..." End Excerpt.
