MIKSCHE F.O.
Is Bombing Decisive? A Study in the Organisation and Tactical Employment of Modern Air Fleets. WALTER CRONKITE'S COPY IN WWII
Sm. 8vo., First Edition; original yellow boards printed in black, blue cloth back with printed paper label, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped pictorial dustwrapper, the latter wanting about one sixth of rear panel. WALTER CRONKITE'S COPY WITH HIS HOLOGRAPH SIGNATURE ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. The signature reads 'Walter Cronkite, United Press' in blue ink. There is an additional signature in pencil on front paste-down. Cronkite joined United Press in 1937 after a year as sports announcer (only his second job in broadcasting) at KCMO in Kansas City, Missouri. This switch from national to international status was effectively the birth of an American legend, for Cronkite went on to become one of the best-known and most respected American reporters of WWII. After covering the North African theatre he turned his attention to Europe, where he was one of eight journalists selected by USAAF to accompany B-17 bombing raids over Germany. During MARKET GARDEN he landed by glider with 101st Airborne and subsequently covered the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes. His extended post-war career as anchorman with CBS created an American icon. A SPLENDID ASSOCIATION COPY FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD OF HIS BROADCASTING CAREER. THE WORK ITSELF IS SCARCE; THIS COPY IS VERY POSSIBLY UNIQUE.

The Untouchables - Mission Accomplished
Second edition. 215 pages. Glossary. Profusely illustrated with superb color photos. Printed upon glossy stock. "A riveting account of the authors' experiences flying in support of the F-111 bombing raid of Libya in April 1986, roaring across the African desert faster than a Magnum .357 bullet, outrunning enemy missiles, and returning to England after buring 30,000 gallons of fuel in six exhausting hours of mission-filled tension. Masterfully intertwines cockpit action with the fascinating revelations of that unique cadre of civilians who designed, built and maintained the jet. Includes over 120 color photos published for the first time from the author's collection." - dust jacket. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Binding sound. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this amazing work. Book
