Robert F. Dorr
Grumman A-6 Intruder (Osprey Air Combat Series)
199 pages. Index. Glossary. Profusely illustrated with reproductions of black and white photos and twelve in color. "The Intruder remains the only carrier-based attack aircraft which can penetrate an enemy's defences and strike his heartland in the worst of weather, in the black of darkness. The EA-6B Prowler carries out a difficult mission of equal importance, confounding an enemy's radars and jamming his communications. This work reveals new secrets about this well-known but little understood aircraft. Intruder and Prowler pilots, crew members and maintenance people contributed their stories to this history." - back cover. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy. Book

Sir Arthur Bomber Harris
Bomber Offensive
Collins. Hardcover. Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris 1892-1984 was Commander in Chief Bomber Command from 1942 to 1945. Based on his experiences in London during the Blitz Harris developed a belief in intensive incendiary bombing as a means not merely of destroying cities but of undermining civilian morale. His new concept of 'area bombing' was put into practice with the first 'thousand-bomber' raid on Cologne in May 1942.This is a first edition published by Collins in 1947. It has evident signs of wear and tear and shelf life but is otherwise in fair condition for it's age. Collins hardcover
