Deighton Len. Introduction by AJP. Taylor. A. J.
FIGHTER: THE TRUE STORY OF THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN.
Edison NJ: Castle 2000. 261 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs maps/battle plans cartoons drawings. "Drawing on the mastery of technical detail he displayed so brilliantly in 'Bomber' the story of an RAF bombing raid Deighton gives us an altogether factual and comprehensive picture of the men the machines the strategies and the blunders and the events on both sides. He shows us the British squandering precious fighter planes in a futile effort to halt the German blitzkrieg in France and the Germans refusing to believe in the effectiveness of British radar. He compares the fire power combat tactics and ground control analyzing the performance of both the planes the Messerschmitt broke up in mid-air more often than the Spitfire and the pilots men such as the fabled Douglas Bader who flew better with two artificial legs than other men with two real ones; or 'Onkel Theo' Osterkamp a WWI German ace who became an ace in WWII as well until he was finally ordered off combat flying at the age of forty-eight. We see the British General Staff divided against itself after the Battle the man most responsible for the British victory - Sir Hugh Dowding Commander in Chief Fighter Command - was dismissed; the German High Command unsure of its objectives; exaggerated British claims and an almost fatal shortage of pilots; and German technical superiority that was continually undercut by Nazi incompetence." Small Christmas gift inscription on half-title page very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine tiny stain on fore-edge of text block. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling minor rubbing. Reprint.

Although comparatively few farepaying passengers lost their lives in airship wrecks fatalities among the machines out-number the airships that survived to pass into honourable retirement.Yet Len Deighton calls the airship one of the greatest triumphs of structural engineering the world has seen. Through this remarkable collection of photographsmany of them previously unpublishedhe bears witness to the magic of those gentleawesome giants of the sky - 'cathedral arches twisted into a tracery of aluminium' - whilst also portraying the disastrous consequences when things went wrong. No more than forty years agothen 1978just two years before WW2 and the demise of the airship the only regular passenger flights between Europe and North America or Brazil were by luxuriously appointed and noiseless airshipssauntering gracefully at low enough altitude for navigation by road maps.Even as early as 1912passengers could relax in their wicker armchairs on the carpeted flight deck after an excellent cold lunch aboard the postal delivery Zeppelin and watch the German countryside unroll beneath them at a steady 45 mph.Thatin turnwas but fifteen years after a Berlin clergyman had made the first-ever manned and motor propelled balloon flight. Sowhere did the dream go wrong One answer was provided by C. G. Greywho wrote in 1926 that 'airships breed like elephants and aeroplanes like rabbits'.If that is less than a complete explanationthe allusion is not without its apt tone of comic absurdity.Consider the tale of the captain of the L6 blown off course in a gale as darkness fellholding conversation with his supposed rescuer on the ground belowand discovering that he was talking to his own petty officer who had tumbled unnoticed out of the airship's flight gondola.Or the family who found their isolated house dwarfed by the skeletal remains of a giant beast which had quietly died in the night. There wereof coursethose who perished painfully in their enthusiasm for airships. Yet no morbid or mournful note is struck in the astonishing story of simple pioneering faith which Len Deighton unfolds. Nothing is so apparent in his pictures as the air of gaiety and festival that often attended scenes of rescue and salvage. Superficially it might seem that airships were a follya passing fada brief interval between centuries of slowmuscle-boundearthly travel and the age of rockets in space.That would be to overlook the mystique of the airshipenshrined in this book as a sort of divine catalysta spark burning bright and extinguished in an instant having enabled men to cross a threshold and move out to the far reaches of the universe. <br />Since April 2013again in March 2015and in this year toothe UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion templatealtering it's pricesweight allowances dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!<br />Soplease contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the lighter weight and value of this item for correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!</p> UK.BOOK CLUB ASSOCIATES,1978. hardcover

Delve Ken.
D-DAY: THE AIR BATTLE.
Ramsbury: Crowood Press 2004. 192 pp 10" H. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs reproductions maps/plans. "6 June 1944 saw the Allied invasion of occupied Europe - one of the riskiest military operations of World War Two. The part played by air power in the success of the operation was crucial. This was the greatest concentration of striking power ever seen: 12000 combat aircraft. Fighter-bombers such as the P-47 Thunderbolt and Hawker Typhoon bombed strafed and rocketed tactical targets with great accuracy while strategic bombers escorted by hundreds of fighters targeted bridges marshalling yards coastal guns and military stores. Other aircraft flew sophisticated decoy operations and hundreds of transports dropped paratroops or released gliders. In this the only full-length book on the subject Ken Delve examines the air campaign from the pre-invasion bombing strategy that prepared the battlefield to the massive air effort that accompanied the actual assault and the air umbrella during the vital weeks following the landings. Originally published in 1994 it has been substantially enlarged re-illustrated and completely reset providing comprehensive coverage of this vital air campaign." Small bump at top of front hinge. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top of front hinge. Revised and Enlarged Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Crowood Press Hardcover
