CANADIAN SQUADRONS IN COASTAL COMMAND.

"During the war Canadian squadrons flew hundred of operations over the North Atlantic the English Channel the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay. Such operations included reconnaissance flights as well as shipping strikes to Norway the Netherlands and the French coast. The Canadians proved themselves admirably despite heavy losses - some of the heaviest of the war. From a force of some 4000 officers and airmen and 270 aircaft at the beginning of the war the RCAF had within four months doubled in strength with 8287 officers and airmen and 14 operational squadrons in Canada. This comprehensive study covers every success achieved by Canadian squadrons listed in Coastal Command's records for World War II - including attacks on U-Boats and enemy controlled vessels. Each operation is reported in meticulous detail from the time of departure current weather hours flown and crew involved to a description of the action itself." Book is Fine.

Henshaw Alex.
THE FLIGHT OF THE MEW GULL.
London: John Murray 1980. 310 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. B&w photographs maps drawings. "Alex Henshaw had the luck to grow up in the '20s and '30s during the golden age of flying and thanks to his father's generous encouragement it was not long before he had his own Gipsy Moth. From that moment there was no looking back. The Blue Riband of flying in the British Isles between the two World Wars was the King's Cup: Henshaw set his heart on it developing a technique of racing which extracted the very maximum from his aircraft: first the Comper Swift and then the DH Leopard Moth. Parallel with his search for speed was an obsession with making accurate landfalls and he developed this blind-flying talent deliberately in a flying partnership with his father on many carefully planned long-distance survey flights. His exciting apprenticeship in these two skills was crowned by the acquisition of the Percival Mew Gull G-AEXF in 1937. After many initial successes with the machine Henshaw became associated with Jack Cross of Essex Aero Ltd at Gravesend who became primarily responsible for the racing and long distance preparations. First fruits of this partnerships was victory in the King's Cup of 1938 at a speed that was the fastest of any winning aircraft at any time. This was closely followed by an amazing solo flight to Cape Town and back in February 1939 establishing several solo records that still stand today over forty years later. This feat of navigation and airmanship must surely be one of man's greatest flights - 12754 miles over desert sea and jungle in a single-engined light aircraft. Alex Henshaw tells his story in a vivid style that puts you at the heart of all his battles and adventures." Previous owner's name in red ink on front free endpaper small bump at top of spine.
