Publisher's Synopsis
Sovereignty Over The Air: A Lecture (1912) is a book written by H. Erle Richards that explores the concept of national sovereignty over the airspace above a country. The book is a transcript of a lecture given by the author in 1912 and provides a detailed analysis of the legal and political issues surrounding air sovereignty. Richards argues that the development of aviation technology has led to a new frontier of national sovereignty, one that requires careful consideration and regulation. He explores the various legal frameworks and international agreements that have been developed to govern airspace and examines the challenges that arise when different countries have conflicting claims to the same airspace. In addition to discussing the legal aspects of air sovereignty, Richards also considers the practical implications of this concept. He examines the role of air power in military strategy and the potential for air travel to transform international relations. Overall, Sovereignty Over The Air: A Lecture (1912) is a thought-provoking analysis of a complex and important topic. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of aviation, international law, or the politics of air travel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
