The Journal Of Transport History 1953-1966.
A full set of the First Series. Seven volumes quarto (approx 9"
x 7"), about 260pp per volume, bound as four books, with index to each
volume. Very fine set. Edited by the eminent transport historians Prof Jack

mainly b/w from archive images and some colour in most issues. Each issue
