Here is a remarkable study of English woodcarvers and woodcarving from the earliest times to furniture craftsmen of the Georgian era. The book pays special attention to the role of the carver in work designed for the Crown over several hundred years. The center of Oughton's study revolves around Grinling Gibbons, one of the great stylists -- as exemplified by his work at St. Paul's Cathedral, Windsor Castle, and other historic buildings.
Also included are illustrated notes on the various carving styles, reproductions of contemporary documents, and an extract from the author's major research study, Inventory of Woodcarving in the British Isles.

Edward ‘Mick’ Mannock, VC, DSO (2 bars), MC (& bar), officially shot down 73 enemy aircraft in the First World War and, unofficially, nearly a hundred – yet he was blind in one eye. Mannock was not only an aristocrat of the air he was also a real man of the people, a constant rebel against authority and regimentation who, nonetheless, gained the respect of superiors and subordinates alike. A great and inspirational leader of men, a master of air strategy and the innovator of aggressive formation flying, Mannock was also one of the most mystifying enigmas of the RFC. Until the day of his death, he never conquered his fear of being burned alive in the cockpit and this recurrent horror – encouraged by the fact that First World War pilots were not permitted parachutes – colored his career considerably. Here is the full story of that career, set against a period when air power depended not upon remotely-controlled missiles but on men of imagination, daring and outstanding personal courage.
