 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. Aldiss and possibly Theodore Sturgeon and Algis Budrys.

"Life-Line", short story by Robert A. Heinlein. Astounding Science-Fiction, Vol 23, No 6. August 1939, as by Robert Heinlein.
"Ether Breather", short story by Theodore Sturgeon. Astounding Science-Fiction, Vol 24, No 1. September 1939.
"Loophole", short story by Arthur C. Clarke. Astounding Science Fiction, Vol 37, No 2. April 1946.
"Tomorrow's Children", novelette by Poul Anderson. Astounding Science Fiction, Vol 39, No 1. March 1947, as by Poul Anderson and F. N. Waldrop.
