By Richards H Erle Sir and H. Erle Richards

Book Overview

""Sovereignty Over The Air: A Lecture"" is a book written by H. Erle Richards and published in 1912. The book is a detailed exploration of the concept of sovereignty over the air, which was a relatively new concept at the time. The author argues that the development of aviation and the increasing use of airplanes for military purposes had made it necessary for nations to establish clear rules and regulations regarding the use of airspace. The book begins by examining the historical development of the concept of sovereignty over the air, tracing its origins back to the early days of aviation. The author then goes on to discuss the various legal and political issues surrounding the use of airspace, including the question of whether or not airspace can be considered a form of property. Throughout the book, the author provides a wealth of examples and case studies to illustrate his arguments, drawing on both historical and contemporary sources. He also explores the various international treaties and agreements that have been developed to regulate the use of airspace, and considers the implications of these agreements for the future of aviation and international relations. Overall, ""Sovereignty Over The Air: A Lecture"" is a fascinating and insightful exploration of a topic that remains relevant today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and politics of aviation, as well as for those interested in international law and diplomacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
