Robert Kirby
The Avro Manchester : The Legend Behind the Lancaster
Fonthill UK 2015. Second Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 509 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Edges of dust jacket have superficial wear. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. This is the definitive account of the Avro Manchester based upon detailed research by Dr Robert Kirby. This new and greatly expanded edition follows on from Dr Kirby's original edition of 1995 containing 30 per cent of additional text and is richly illustrated with more than 200 black and white photographs.In the early dark days of the Second World War RAF Bomber Command was obliged to operate for 18 months deep into occupied Europe with the under-developed Rolls-Royce Vulture-powered Avro Manchester. It was the largest and only Allied bomber to use the Vulture operationally. This account draws out chronologically the airframe and engine development intermixed with personal experiences from pilots and other personnel. Early evolution was protracted and unrealistic multiple roles were abandoned. All flying surfaces required extension to provide an adequate flight envelope and progress was further set back by severe Vulture problems. Avro Manchesters entered squadron service without significant type-testing being undertaken and in the first eight months witnessed four groundings. Rolls-Royce themselves contributed this illuminating aspect.Eventually seven RAF squadrons using 202 Manchesters with 538 Vultures contributed 1260 sorties mainly day and night bombing and mining. A contrasted highlight is the stunning aircrew accounts fearful of weather flak and fighters but perpetually nursing and cajoling their temperamental Vultures through hostile skies. Through the narrative several threads reveal the ultimate wisdom of persisting with a type which ultimately blossomed into the 'war-winning' Lancaster. The book also included fascinating reviews of second line duties and six appendices provide essential reference. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Aviation; Military & Warfare.

Roberts Leslie.
THERE SHALL BE WINGS: A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE.
Toronto: Clarke Irwin 1959. 290 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "Leslie Roberts begins his history of the RCAF with an account of the first flight in Canada on Baddeck Bay in 1909. Five and one-half years later the first World War broke out and he records the exploits in that conflict of the Canadians who took to the air in such numbers that in 1918 they constituted more than fifty percent of the flying personnel of the RAF. He describes the protracted and painful birth of the RCAF its struggles for survival during its early days when to justify its existence a succession of economy-minded governments assigned it such employment as flying fire-spotting patrols carrying out search-and-rescue and mercy missions in the North timber cruising for the provinces and photography and mapping tasks in the high Arctic. When a second World War broke out these airmen passed on their accumulated knowledge and experience to the young Canadians who with their colleagues from the other Commonwealth countries met and turned back the challenge of Hitler's Luftwaffe and shattered the wall of his European Fortress. Roberts includes an account of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan; of the RCAF 's participation in the Korean conflict; its contribution to NATO and the United Nations Emergency Force; and its present status as guardian of Canada's three shorelines and our first line of defence.

THERE SHALL BE WINGS: A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE.
Toronto: Clarke Irwin 1959. 290 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "Leslie Roberts begins his history of the RCAF with an account of the first flight in Canada on Baddeck Bay in 1909. Five and one-half years later the first World War broke out and he records the exploits in that conflict of the Canadians who took to the air in such numbers that in 1918 they constituted more than fifty percent of the flying personnel of the RAF. He describes the protracted and painful birth of the RCAF its struggles for survival during its early days when to justify its existence a succession of economy-minded governments assigned it such employment as flying fire-spotting patrols carrying out search-and-rescue and mercy missions in the North timber cruising for the provinces and photography and mapping tasks in the high Arctic. When a second World War broke out these airmen passed on their accumulated knowledge and experience to the young Canadians who with their colleagues from the other Commonwealth countries met and turned back the challenge of Hitler's Luftwaffe and shattered the wall of his European Fortress. Roberts includes an account of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan; of the RCAF 's participation in the Korean conflict; its contribution to NATO and the United Nations Emergency Force; and its present status as guardian of Canada's three shorelines and our first line of defence.
