IN THE TEETH OF THE WIND: THE STORY OF A NAVAL PILOT ON THE WESTERN FRONT 1916-1918.
Leo Cooper London 1994 revised edition. 159 pp large 8vo 9 3/8" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0850523184 B&w photographs diagram map. "Philip Bartlett's account is a unique and fascinating record of a pilot's life in the dawn of aerial warfare and as a history of the first use of the bomber in war strangely by the Navy's aircraft. Flying by day and night alone without navigational aids the author moves from attacks on the U-boat bases to bombing the German Gothas as they prepared to raid London and then to the s upport of Haig's drive to the coast which ended in the mud of Passchendaele. The climax in March 1918 is reached when the author's squadron finds itself directly in the path of Ludendorff's massive thrust which broke the British Vth Ar m y a n d n e a rly decided the War. Attacked by Richthofen's aces No 5 Squadron RNAS flew continuous desperate missions against the advancing troops from aerodromes which were over-run time after time. At a time when the life of a pilot was re ck on e d in w e ek s t he author flew 101 missions enduring the rigours of flying without heat or oxygen with hesitant engines no parachutes and the attention of German fighters. Yet there is continual evidence of the pure joy of flying and won der a t the sh ee r b eau ty of the sky." Light browning to top edge of textblock slight waviness to top/bottom edges of textblock. Dust jacket has very light edge wear/wrinkling at top edge. Very Good/Very Good. Leo Cooper, London, 1994, revised edition. hardcover
