BOYS BOMBS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS: A KNEES-UP WHEELS-UP CHRONICLE OF WWII.
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart 1982. 210 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. "They called them the 'Brylcreem boys' - the young flyers who streamed into England from the first declaration of war the kids with the jaunty grins and the willingness to take terrible risks. Among them were thousands of young Canadians many barely out of high school all delighted to leave behind humdrum lives in dusty post-Depression Canada for the irresistible chance to learn to fly and help beat the Germans. Doug Harvey was one of them - a nineteen-year-old from Toronto who joined the RCAF and in 1942 found himself a pilot in the elite Canadian No. 6 Bomber Group. Here is the fresh frank and often hilarious account of Harvey's experiences overseas. It is an unexpurgated description of what really happened to the group of young Canadian men who suddenly found themselves billeted in freezing Nissen huts in the lush English countryside - surround-ed by an unfamiliar people whose customs puzzled and delighted them - and charged with the job of bombing Gemany into ruins. It is the chilling story of crews flying through the silent night skies their lumbering Lancasters loaded with bombs headed for unseen desinations hundreds of miles away. It is the jubilant story of the boys who made it safely home mission accomplished and the heart-breaking story of the thousands who didn't." Faint erased pencil narks at top corner of free front endpaper light edge wear book is slightly cocked tiny foxing marks on top/bottom of text block. Dust jacket has light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds two edge tears archivally taped light foxing on inside of spine slight darkening to spine and some edges tiny closed tear on front hinge light rubbing and soiling.

LAUGHTER-SILVERED WINGS: REMEMBERING THE AIR FORCE II.
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart 1984. 277 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. B&w cartoons. "From the author of 'Boys Bombs and Brussels Sprouts' and 'The Tumbling Mirth: Remembering the Air Force' comes yet another uproarious ascent into high-altitude insanity. And this time in the interest of 'equal flights' the author frequently features the delightful anecdotes sent to him by WDs. As enthusiastic and proud as any member of the air force the first-ever members of the Women's Division led a life that was often tough but always intriguing. This book contains dozens of hilarious stories from WDs who recall the days when uniforms seemed to come in just a single size - but women had to be brave in more ways than one. There is a wealth of other incident here as well. Confessions of blunders or hair-breadth escapes in the air details of disastrous parades and stories of social occasions that were sometimes bungled - but always enjoyed. Poems prangs and practical jokes are all part of this light-hearted look at the air force from pre-RCAF days on." Small area of slight colour fading on free front end paper light wear at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has very light edge wear at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds a few tiny scuff marks tiny dint on rear hinge creases at bottom of rear panel. . First Edition. Hard Cover.

Hatfield for the competent and dedicated manner in which he has assembled this pictorial progress and growth of aviation in a photo-biography format. This is not a simple accomplishment because much of this material was the personal property of individual pilots and builders. Much had been neglected as worthless. Fortunately through Prof. Hatfield's efforts a vast library covering every facet of past aviation activity has been assembled and classified for ready reference and is now placed in Northrop University's American Hall of Aviation History� This book celebrates in photos the role of ingenious aircraft designers intrepid flyers and their airplanes�". 1st ed No additional printings listed.

THUNDER GODS: THE KAMIKAZE PILOTS TELL THEIR STORY.
New York: Kodansha 1989. 215 pp 8vo 8 1/2" H. Map endpapers b&w photographs map. "The compelling first-hand account of the pilots who pledged themselves to die for their emperor in the closing days of the Pacific War. Known to the world as kamikaze - divine wind - their suicide attacks on American naval forces caused panic and disruption but they were born out of the desperation of the Imperial Command determined to avoid the shame of surrender at any cost. Using as a rationale the loudly proclaimed belief that suicide attacks by Japanese pilots attested to the spiritual righteousness of Japan's struggle the Command's exhortations convinced legions of young men of the virtue of volunteering for the Ohka program in which flying bombs were constructed whose only guiding mechanism was their human cargo. The pilots are the thunder gods of the title and this is the first time they have told their own story. Combines military history technical innovation and the personal stories of men of whom something extraordinary was asked men who died in futility or survived to reflect on their experiences with mixed feelings of pride poignance and cynicism. These pilots were not fanatics or automatons but sacrificial victims to the excesses of war. 'Thunder Gods' tells their story and returns to them their humanity."
