Halliday Hugh A. Vernon C. 'Woody' Woodward.
WOODY: A FIGHTER PILOT'S ALBUM.
Toronto: CANAV 1987. 144 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. B&w photographs maps. "The late 1930s was a time of restlessness for many young Canadians. For some nothing short of a trip to England and a visit to the RAF recruiter could satisfy their urge for adventure. One who followed this path was Vernon C. Woodward a British Columbian from Victoria. This book traces Woodward's flying career fromTiger Moths in Scotland then on to advanced training and out to pre-war Egypt to his first posting. When war breaks out the young pilots are flung against a seemingly overwhelming enemy. They do their best flying their little biplane Gladiators. Woody records his first kill as the pace of combat accelerates daily. Soon Woody's squadron is called to Greece to face even harsher odds with an onslaught of Messerschmitts and Junkers. Woody's tally of kills grows steadily as does that of many of his mates but one by one he is losing his friends as the unequal struggle continues. Inevitably the British must withdraw. They make their last stand on Crete where the situtation is hopeless from the start. Soon there is not a single airworthy Hurricane and Woody and his fellow airmen must take rifle and Tommy gun in hand to fight rugged German parachutists at close quarters. In the end the British forces made a humilitating retreat to Egypt where Woody again faces the enemy and records his 20th and final kill making him one of Canada's leading aces of either world war."

Dust jacket has some light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-foldsm slight wrinkling at top edge. 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. CANAV Hardcover

TO SHATTER THE SKY: BOMBER AIRFIELD AT WAR.
Cambridge: Patrick Stephens 1984. 233 pp large 8vo 9 7/16" H. Pictorial endpapers many b&w photographs. "Beginning with a general description of a typical wartime bomber airfield this book goes on to relate in their own words the personal stories of several crews and their missions. The locales vary as do the targets the results and the nationalities of the raconteurs but the overall image is one of an Empire of bold young men treading where Goring boasted no enemy would succeed in treading. All the courage drama tragedy and indeed humour of war is contained in this compelling documentary which will appeal both to modern historians and enthusiasts as well as to those who remember the dark but strangely exhilarating days which it recalls." Slight twist to spine wrinkling at top/bottom of spine faint erased pencil marks at top of front free endpaper small amount of colored pen underlining to text and small pen notation in bottom margin of page 143. Dust jacket has light to moderate edge wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds - also on flap-folds and on hinges; light fading to spine color; light rubbing; three small edge tears archivally taped.
