Snowie, J. Allan; O'Brien, J.C. "Scruffy" (Foreword)
The Bonnie: HMCS Bonaventure
336 pages. Bibliography. Printed upon glossy stock. Profusely illustrated with reproductions of archival black and white photos. "The first five chapters of this book are a narrative glossary of carrier operations. In the pages that follow, recollections by shipmates have been interwoven to give an easy flow. The main commentary has been given over to her Captains, who were less compartmentalized than the average sailor, petty officer or officer. These senior people saw the overall picture and this book is essentially a Captains' chronology of Bonaventure... To those who served aboard Bonnie, I hope that this will be a scrapbook of nostalgia giving life to familiar and beloved circumstances. To those who remember only the name Bonaventure, these pages will provide an insight into an era and an expertise that is no longer a part of Canadian Naval life." - from Introduction to First Printing. Prior owner's name and date inkstamped upon illustrated front free endpaper, otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A high-quality copy. Book
