By T.C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman
With Thirty Two Illustrations In Half Tone
Published by George G. Harrap & Company Ltd: London, Sydney etc 1928
Presentation Leather & Gilt Bindings from Trinity Grammar School Kew (Victoria, Australia).

"Heroes of Modern Adventure by T.C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman is a compelling collection of real-life tales that profiles some of the most daring and courageous figures of the early 20th century. Through vivid storytelling, the book recounts the exploits of explorers, aviators, soldiers, and pioneers who ventured into the unknown, faced immense dangers, and pushed the limits of human endurance. The authors highlight figures such as polar explorers braving the Arctic ice, wartime spies risking all behind enemy lines, and intrepid pilots testing the boundaries of early aviation, bringing to life their bravery and tenacity.

Written in a dramatic and engaging style, the book not only celebrates individual heroism but also reflects the spirit of an era defined by exploration, innovation, and the aftermath of global conflict. Bridges and Tiltman combine factual reporting with a narrative flair that captures both the adventure and the personal sacrifices of these modern heroes. Through these stories, the authors inspire readers with examples of courage and determination, offering a vivid snapshot of the human spirit at its most resilient and fearless. "
