David Whiteley 31st Jan 2022		Added covers and contents page. Second printing. 160 pages. Cover by Ed Emshwiller. Collection of 8 short stories and 3 novelettes. This book claims to collects together the first published stories by ten of the greatest names in SF, hence the title "First Flights". This is incorrect in the case of Brian W.
