FIRST FLIGHT. New York: Lancer Books, [1963]. Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition, first printing. Lancer Books 72-672. Collects ten stories by Robert A. Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson, Brian W. Aldiss, and others. Includes "T" by Aldiss, an early but not his first SF story, as Knight would have it. "T," first published in NEBULA 18, November 1956, and first collected in SPACE, TIME AND NATHANIEL (1957), a time-paradox story in which an ancient galactic race from the far future sends twelve missiles guided by bioengineered organisms through space and time to destroy Man's home world before humans achieve space flight. Hint of tanning to covers, else a fine, unread copy. (#158178).
