I've sourced and proudly gifted 3 copies to pilots upon receiving their first professional licence at the start of their careers - its their heritage in a way.

Twilight of the God's - what a lovely book. Always worth a read and always emotionally draining.
I finally found a first edition. Has pride of place on my bookshelf.
