STEINBECK John 1902 1968
Bombs Away: The Story of a Bomber Team
New York: The Viking Press 1941. 8vo. 185 pp. 60 black-and-white photographs by John Swope. Original decorated cloth. A very good copy without the jacket. FIRST EDITION. A wonderful association copy warmly inscribed by 8 of the 10 members of the first crew of the B-24 Liberator Bomber "Billie B" to the woman for whom the plane was named by its first pilot 1st Lt. Joseph Robins Littlepage. Nearly full-page inscriptions by the pilot navigator and co-pilot in blue ink on the front pastedown and the front free endpaper as well as by the crew engineer assistant crew engineer radioman assistant radioman and one of the gunners in blue ink on the rear free endpapers. The pilot's inscription reads "To Billie - / From the skipper to her namesake. There isn't much I could tell you other than we are just another combat crew tryin to bring our standards up to the finest ship ever built 42-40076 the Billie "B" / JR Littlepage / First Pilot" The navigator's inscription reads "May 16 1943 / Hi Billie - / Tho I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you I feel that I already know you. However I still have hopes of meeting you in the near future. In the meantime I'll keep doing my darndest to navigate your name sake safely to her targets and back again. / Best wishes from the navigator / James H. Scholl / Gonzales Texas" The co-pilot's inscription reads "Hello Billie - / We are all waiting for the day that we can introduce you to the "Billie B." However from the way Joe talks it won't be a fair comparison. We will all be seeing you. / Until then - George L. Goddard / co-pilot". The inscription by S/Sgt. Harold A. Denison Asst Crew Engineer is a charming 4-line attempt at poetry. The other inscriptions are by S/Sgt. Thomas R. Brady Jr. Gunner T/Sgt. Cyril B. Cluff Jr. Radioman/Gunner and S/Sgt. Clifford H. Muhlhausen Asst. Radioman. Below that of S/Sgt. Harold Hutton Justus Crew Engineer is this moving addition by the pilot "Note - / I'd rather fly without one of the engines than leave him on the ground loyal to the crew faithful at his work and loves the ship as I do -- the Air Corps has none as good - the country none better - / J.R.L." In addition the pilot has annotated 49 of the 60 B&W photos the accompany Steinbeck's journalistic account of the training of a typical flight crew. The notes are often amusing: the captions of pictures of a B-17 and a B-24 on facing pages were modified to read "Boeing B-17E commonly known as the Flying Fortress Junk Heaps" and "Consolidated B-24 commonly known as the Liberator Billie 'B'"; in many cases they are merely informative aimed at telling her name sake about crew activities and features of the plane; and sometimes touching beneath the chapter opening photograph of a pilot 1st Lt. Littlepage has added "And don't think he's not scared". The only members not represented are 1st Lt. Leonard Barton Conway Bombadier and S/Sgt. William Posledni Gunner.� The newly commissioned B-24 Liberator Bomber "Billie B" 42-40076 was assigned to the 13th Air Force 307th Bombardment Group "The Long Rangers" 370th Bomber Squadron and was first stationed at Carney Field Guadalcanal on May 29 1943 with this crew flying missions until July 3 when the plane was grounded for repairs. On July 6 the 10-man crew was assigned to another plane for a bombing mission to Bougainville Island and the plane and crew was lost at sea on its way back from the Philippines. The "Billie B" was assigned to a replacement crew and went on to serve valiantly in the South Pacific until the end of August 1944.�. <br/><br/> The Viking Press hardcover

Small 8vo: 186pp. Publisher's beige cloth spine and upper cover lettered within orange title block between thick black rules top edge stained blue pictorial dust jacket printed in black and priced $2.00. A spectacular copy square tight clean unmarked and probably unread marred only by fading of blue top-stain only a few traces of blue remain; about Fine jacket completely free of tears and edge wear but spine panel lightly sunned black lettering and design undiminished. Truly one for the vaults. Goldstone-Payne A7a. Hanna 3344. Baird 2336. Coan p. 76. "Of Mice and Men the title is drawn from Robert Burns's poem "To A Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice and men / Gang aft a-gley / An' leave us naught but grief an' pain / For promised joy" marks a deliberate change from Steinbeck's previous work In Dubious Battle 1936. In this new project Steinbeck chose to work within a narrower framework . . . concentrating on a small number of characters as Steinbeck tells the story of migrant ranch laborers in carefully detailed settings. . . . From the very beginning not only are readers given a call to social reform the plight of the migrant worker is bleak and unlikely to change but they also see that such men possess an American dream shared by all levels of society. Even though George and Lennie are different in size although one is mentally sharp and the other retarded they both have their dream of ownership and independence." The Literary Encyclopedia N. B.

"Sweet Thursday was begun as a whimsical attempt to 'convert' the characters and themes of Steinbeck's previous novel Cannery Row 1945. The concept was initially conceived first as a dramatic vehicle 1950 and then as a musical comedy 1952 . . . When the adaptation attempt failed Steinbeck . . . decided instead to write a novel which appeared in 1954 and approximately a year and a half later the Broadway team of Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II produced their adaptation under the title of Pipe Dream. . . . At times the novel is sentimental too cute and sententious; at times it is even ludicrous . . . Yet as Bruce Ouderkirk asserts in A John Steinbeck Encyclopedia: 'it is a more artistically complex novel than has usually been recognized for in it Steinbeck creates a romantic comedy for the stage that satirizes many of the conventions of the genre he adopted. Although time has tarnished the relevance of many of the topical concerns discussed in the novel the epistemological questions that Steinbeck raised in Sweet Thursday will remain important to readers in any age.'"
