From the dust jacket: "With the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 7 2015 Dick Cole has long stood in the powerful spotlight of fame that has followed him since his B-25 was launched from a Navy carrier and flown toward Japan just four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In recognition the tremendous boost Doolittle's Raid gave American morale members of The Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in May 2014. Doolittle's Raid was only the opening act of Cole's flying career during the war. When that mission was complete and all of the 16 aircraft had crash-landed in China many of the survivors were assigned to combat units in Europe. Cole remained in India after their rescue and was assigned to Ferrying Command flying the Hump of the Himalayas for a year in the world's worst weather with inadequate aircraft few aids to navigation and inaccurate maps. More than 600 aircraft with their crews were lost during this monumental effort to keep China in the war but Cole survived and rotated home in 1943. He was home just a few months when he was recruited for the First Air Commandos and he returned to India to participate in Project 9 the aerial invasion of Burma.".

‎A Question of Honor: The Kosciuszko Squadron: Forgotten Heroes of World War II.‎

‎New York, Vintage Books, 2004, pt in-8°, xiv-495 pp, 61 photos dans le texte, 2 cartes, notes, biblio, index, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état. Texte en anglais‎

‎La 303e escadrille de chasse polonaise, dite également de « Kosciuszko » est une escadrille de chasse dont les pilotes polonais combattaient au sein de la Royal Air Force durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle tire son nom du général Tadeusz Kosciuszko, héros de la Pologne et de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis. L’escadrille de Kosciuszko est formée en Grande-Bretagne à la suite d'un accord entre le gouvernement polonais en exil et le Royaume-Uni, signé le 2 août 1940. Elle est opérationnelle le 31 août. L’escadrille de Kosciuszko est celle qui a abattu le plus grand nombre d’avions allemands durant la bataille d'Angleterre... — “A Question of Honor” is the gripping, little-known story of the refugee Polish pilots who joined the RAF and played an essential role in saving Britain from the Nazis, only to be betrayed by the Allies after the war. After Poland fell to the Nazis, thousands of Polish pilots, soldiers, and sailors escaped to England. Devoted to liberating their homeland, some would form the RAF’s 303 squadron, known as the Kosciuszko Squadron, after the elite unit in which many had flown back home. Their thrilling exploits and fearless flying made them celebrities in Britain, where they were “adopted” by socialites and seduced by countless women, even as they yearned for news from home. During the Battle of Britain, they downed more German aircraft than any other squadron, but in a stunning twist at the war’s end, the Allies rewarded their valor by abandoning Poland to Joseph Stalin. This moving, fascinating book uncovers a crucial forgotten chapter in World War II – and Polish – history. Désormais les frais d'envoi sont de 6 € seulement pour les livres jusqu'à 1 kg (colissimo suivi), pour la France métropolitaine.‎
