No Binding. Condición: Good. Two very rare documents, (2), (2)pp, each printed on official British Government Crown and Stationery Office (SO) watermarked foolscap. Good with single horizontal fold, creased and tanned with some spotting and a couple of short closed tears. Undated c1941-42. No author or publisher is indicated, but they appear to have been issued as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, also known as the Empire Air Training Scheme, or "The Plan". This remains the largest scheme of its kind, covering almost half the pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, air gunners, wireless operators and flight engineers in the RAF, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, RAAF, RCAF, and RNZAF. Parallel to this, the South African Air Force ran a programme for its own aircrew and other Allied air forces. This pair of cross-referring notes informs pilots about dust and sandstorms encountered along the route to India via the Western (Libyan) Desert, Arabia and the Gulf. NOTE 2 explains the conditions necessary for these to occur in the Western Desert, with Mediterranean cold fronts being the "the most frequent cause", and various types of depressions including over Palestine and Syria. NOTE 3 adds observations on sandstorms in Winter, Spring and Summer driven by the switch between the NE and SW Monsoon over the Arabian Sea and India, the Shamal over western Persia, the Sirocco over Palestine, Syria and western Iraq, etc. Sandstorms can extend further east along the route to Persia and Baluchistan, while dust haze extends SE over the Gulf to Bahrain and possibly beyond.

Soft cover. Condición: Good. Original yellow printed wraps in landscape format 22x13cm. Printed by Thomas Brettell at "The Anglo-Saxon" Printing Office, Rupert Street, Haymarket. 64pp including 30 full page b/w line drawings with facing captions + (25)pp adverts including to the wraps. Cover panels good with previous owner's name and date to the front and loss to spine; interiors very good, lightly creased. This contains "the scaled-down drawings of the Diorama 'Overland Route of the Mail from Southampton to Calcutta' created by Thomas Grieve and William Telbin. The Diorama consisted of a series of thirty full-size, painted scenes inspired by the ports and places encountered by P&O passengers on their travels overseas, to be seen on a revolving stage accompanied by commentary and music. The diorama was a great success and was recreated in an album of watercolours. The engraved version of the publication appeared in 1850 to 1852" with 32 prints (reference: V&A accession number SP.262:29). This book appears to have been published to accompany the Diorama, which was on display at the Gallery of Illustration, 14 Regent Street, London, during 1850-55, created and run by theatrical scene-painters Thomas Grieve and William Telbin. The drawings here are credited to a wider circle of artists, who in turn credit the works of David Roberts, Capt Robert Moresby, Lt Bellairs, Lt-Col D'Aguilar; Dr Moore, George Thompson, Thomas Marsh Nelson, and P&O. The text is credited to J.H. Stocqueler, author of The Hand-Book of India, and the Oriental Interpreter. Credits for the music are also given, together with contact details for Joseph Cundall at the Gallery of Illustration. One of the adverts previews the forthcoming series of engravings by Grieve, Telbin, Absolon and Herring, assisted by David Roberts "and other eminent artists", under the superintendence of H. Fitz-Cook, to be published by Atchley and Co. The scenes include Southampton; the Isle of Wight - Osborne; the Needles; Bay of Biscay; Cintra; the Tagus; Cape Trafalgar; Tarifa; Gibraltar; Algiers; Pantelaria and Galeita; Malta; Alexandria; Mahmoudie Canal; Boulac; Cairo; the Cemetery; the dead camel; the central station (a significant post house in the desert); Arabs on horseback; encampment by night; women drawing water; Joseph's Well; departure from Suez; the Red Sea where the Israelites crossed; Jeddah; Mocha; Aden; Point de Galle, Ceylon; and Calcutta.
