‎Texas A&M University Press USA 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. 258 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket is in excellent condtion. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are lightly tanned. "Life" writes Joseph W. Rutter "was all fun and games with very expensive toys during those bright June days in 1944." Rutter was a pilot in the Army Air Force and the expensive toys were airplanes--A-20 nicknamed "the Havoc" for the damage they inflicted. He had just completed replacement crew training at Charlotte North Carolina. Shortly thereafter he was flying with the 312th Bomb Group from Hollanida New Guinea over Japanese targets and across "unexplored" areas and life became more serious. "Wreaking Havoc tells the story of Rutter and his friends at a time when the horrors of war were matched by the energy and enthusiasm of youth. In innocent and understated tones Rutter relates hijinks and daredevilry his training stateside his first mission large-scale raids on the Philippines and Formosa routine low-level attacks on Japanese positions crashes mishaps and the deaths of friends. With a wonderful eye for detail Rutter gives the reader a glimpse into not only the air war in the Pacific but also the culture of the 1940s and the minds of the young men who found themselves far from home on the front lines. In Rutter's story of war the A-20 is as much a protagonist as the author. If the aircraft emerges as a pilot's plane--a joy to fly--it could also be a temperamental machine whose landing gear might collapse whose hydraulic system might fail and whose controls might suddenly malfunction. Rutter and the men who crewed the planes are quiet heroes whose approach to war combines the nonchalance of youth and the seriousness of men who have come close enough to death to take life seriously. From the pages of his memoir Rutter speaks to those interested in aviationWorld War II and the coming of age of a young man. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Aviation; ISBN: 1585442895.

‎La guerre de l'amiral Jubelin, de son évasion de Saïgon en 1940 à son retour à Haiphong au commandement du contre-torpilleur, le Triomphant (1945). Pilote des Warlus de la Fleet Air Arm, des chasseurs de jour puis de nuit de la RAF, commandant du cuirassé Courbet en rade de Plymouth, du légendaire aviso FNFL "Savorgnan-de-Brazza", l’amiral Jubelin fut une sorte de globe-trotter de la France Libre... — Souvenirs d'un officier de marine français. Stationné en Indochine en 1940, il parvient à rejoindre les Forces Françaises Libres en Angleterre dans des conditions extraordinaires. Il commencera par participer à la Bataille d'Angleterre en commandant le cuirassé Courbet à Portsmouth, ce dernier se faisant connaitre pour sa DCA ; puis deviendra dans un second temps pilote de chasse dans la RAF, pilote de jour puis de nuit sur divers appareils (Walrus, Hurricane, Spitfire et Typhoon). Enfin il commandera l'aviso Savorgnan de Brazza puis le croiseur léger Triomphant. Un récit très enrichissant car il donne le point de vue, peu courant, d'un marin devenu pilote puis redevenu marin. La partie sur le Courbet est également très interessante en ce sens où elle nous permet de voir l'état d'esprit qui régnait dans un premier temps parmi les FFL.‎

‎Sheila Scott: A Biography‎

‎Hutchinson UK 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine Condition. 264 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket has superficial rubbing. Dust jacket is unclipped. Pages are reasonably tanned. Sheila Scott was portrayed by the press during the 1960s and early 1970s as a glamorous and courageous record breaking heroine of the air one of the few pioneering pilots of her generation. Although this was an accurate reflection of her achievements there were other aspects of her extraordinary personality and experience which remained hidden. Between 1965 and 1972 she captured the public imagination with long distance solo flights performing solitary feats of endurance where no solo pilot had flown before as the first person to fly alone around the world on the Equator and over the North Pole. This narrative is told by Judy Lomax who had Sheila Scott's full co-operation before her death. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Aviation. ISBN: 0091741149.
