- Lot Description
The 1955 edition, published by Arthaud, of the original 1949 book by Tailliez, Cousteau, Alinat, Devilla, and Dumas, representing GROUPE D ETUDES ET DE RECHERCHES SOUS-MARIN (GERS). The first book published on diving with the Aqualung by the first military unit to be formed around the Aqualung. The text is French. The book is authored by Cousteau and the GERS team and presented by the French MARINE NATIONALE. The hardbound book comes with a cardboard Repeat Dive Table calculator as shown. Numerous photos of divers in scuba equipment and also helmet divers, some of which are shown here. Hardbound in laser copy dust jacket in protective cover, 154 pages, with b&w photos. Book content is in good condition. The last page is missing, which was blank, so the content is complete. There is some wear to the pages, and the spine and hard covers have some wear and staining, but content is complete. The title page is stamped HARPONNEURS BRETONS, with a Paris address. Maybe this copy was in their library? A very important book on the development of the Aqualung and its operational use by GERS, authored by Cousteau and the pioneer GERS team, the first military team to use the Aqualung operationally.
