[EAN: 9781869340070], Tweedehands, zeer goed, [SC: 9.77], [PU: Grantham House, Wellington], AVIATION, NEW ZEALAND, AERIAL MAPPING, Jacket, In 1936 Piet Van Asch set up NZ's first commercial aerial mapping company, appropriately named NZ Aerial Mapping. At the time of publication NZAM was the country's oldest aviation company. In that half century it had become well established as a leader in the field, working in the Pacific as well as NZ. Before NZAM the small Air Force has undertaken some limited aerial photopgraphy, surveying and mapping, but the advent of the company opened up the science to a large number of organisations, councils, industries and individuals. This is an impressive story of a company of small beginnings, great foresight, innovation, success and longevity. Not only a record of a company and its work, but of the people, planes and plans that led to great service and achievements. This an ex-library copy, but from a reference section and thus little used. 188 pages including three appendices, bibliography, references and index. 12 colour photographs, b/w photos throughout, many full page, several maps, documents and diagram, decorative e/papers.

Auckland: Grantham House, 1986. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. This is a very good copy. The jacket is in an archival sleeve. Piet van Asch was ahead of his time when in 1936 he established NZ Aerial Mapping Limited as the first private enterprise 'eye in the sky' to map new Zealand from the air. Some tentative aerial survey had been undertaken by the Air Force but, when war intervened in 1939, it was left to NZAM to fly the vital fortress areas for the Armed Forces and from there to go on to city, rural, river, mountain and coastal vertical photography to meet the needs of farmers, developers, engineers, town planners, surveyors, prospectors, irrigators and foresters., Grantham House, 1986, 3<
