Includes 'The Airlords of Han'. According to Robert A. W. Lowndes' introduction to the 1963 Ace edition (also printed uncredited in the 1962 Avalon edition and reprinted in later editions): "In presenting this new version, no attempt has been made to "update" the story, although a certain amount of revision and condensation was necessary". This version of the text condenses consecutive pairs of chapters into longer chapters and removes their titles: Armageddon 2419 A.D. comprises Chapters 1 to 6 and the text of 'The Airlords of Han' comprises Chapters 7 to 18.
- The Foreword by Lowndes, credited in other editions, is uncredited here, and is also appended with a final paragraph which makes reference to another Avalon publication (The Drums of Tapajos); this paragraph appears to have been removed from this Foreword when used by other publishers, and credited to Lowndes.
- Cover artist credited on inside front cover dustflap, signature "Emsh" visible in lower right corner.
