A comprehensive album documenting a Royal Air Force officer's five months at Aden. Compiled by squadron leader D. A. R. Naylor, it covers the expected territory of billets and beach days, but also several interesting views of the town, including backstreets "where the bargaining is done" and racing meets at Khormaksar. The racing images are particularly interesting with several handsome photographs of the Arab horses.

Spine secured with string tie. A few prints removed, extremities a little chipped and scuffed, one string tie missing, otherwise very good.
