‎The Cape first edition in dust jacket‎

‎Garden City New York: Doubleday & Company Inc 1971. Near Fine condition in a bright and shiny Very Good dust jacket. Small mark on the jacket's spine where something probably a price sticker was removed. NOT price clipped $6.95. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. Bound in the original gray cloth lettered in silver and bklack on the spine. Complete with dust jacket. From GoodReads: "Martin Caidin was a prolific and controversial writer. Most of his work centered around the adventures of pilots and astronauts. A number of his books were notable for their reasonable realistic predictions of then-futuristic technology. Caidin's body of work was prolific and varied ranging from additional speculative/SF novels such as Marooned which was made into an acclaimed film and considered a harbinger of the Apollo 13 accident to a novel based upon the character Indiana Jones. He also wrote many non-fiction books about science aviation and warfare. Caidin began writing fiction in 1957. In his career he authored more than 50 fiction and nonfiction books as well as more than 1000 magazine articles. His best-known novel is Cyborg which was the basis for 'The Six Million Dollar Man' franchise. He also wrote numerous works of military history especially concerning aviation. In addition to his writing Caidin was a pilot and active in the restoration and flying of older planes." From a 2014 review by Dustin: "This one was on par with 'Marooned' but not quite as good. It was still a solid story. The technical aspects are so thoroughly covered that the plausibility of the scenarios in the story are easy to believe. I think it would also help if you read this already versed in the history of the space program and the actual progression of missions as well as understanding that the time period explains the sexism and latent racism. I think the story would have been just fine without some of that. At the same time you can see the author is trying to paint as realistic a picture of the area at that time as he can. It's tricky I guess. The majority of the story focuses on the VAB launch pads and Saturn boosters enough to where I wasn't turned off by the peripheral stuff. I'd recommend it but only to space program fans and amateur historians of the Space Coast.". First Edition so stated. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket.

‎Pilotes de nuit.‎

‎La Table Ronde, 1952, in-8°, 225 pp, 8 pl. de photos hors texte, une carte, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎"Pilote en 1940, Jean Calmel rallie les Forces aériennes français libres et participe à des missions en Afrique du Nord avant de rejoindre la Royal Air Force. Nommé capitaine d'un équipage de bombardier, lui et ses hommes subissent un entraînement intense en Écosse avant d'effectuer des missions périlleuses au-dessus de l'Allemagne. L’auteur met ainsi l’accent sur la fraternité d’armes qui permet à l’équipage d’affronter la peur, compagne omniprésente des pilotes en mission." (Manuel Valls-Vicente, « Ecrits de Guerre et d’Occupation » EGO 1939-1945) — Les pilotes de chasse sont très justement à l'honneur. Mais on parfois oublié les pilotes de bombardiers et leurs dures missions qui les obligeaient à ne pas quitter leur poste pendant six heures ou davantage. Neige, pluie ou brouillard avaient beau boucher hermétiquement la vue, l'enfer de l'artillerie aérienne avait beau se déchaîner contre eux, les chasseurs de nuits allemands avaient beau foncer sur eux de tous les coins de l'horizon, les "Halifax", lourds et peu maniables, devaient poursuivre leur vol impeccable selon la route tracée dès le départ pour atteindre et pilonner leur cible signalée par les avions marqueurs. Le lieutenant-colonel Calmel, héros de la guerre aérienne, qui a été le plus jeune capitaine de l'armée de l'air, nous raconte à la fois les aspects techniques et les phases dramatiques de la vie de ses camarades, parmi lesquels se détachent d'inoubliable manière, Araud, Brion et Dabadie, les trois mousquetaires français de la R.A.F. — "Le Capitaine Jean Calmel (aujourd’hui Lieutenant Colonel de notre Armée de l’Air) est l’un de ces magnifiques chefs d’équipage de bombardiers lourds qui se sont battus dans les rangs de la R.A.F, sous les couleurs de la France Libre. Il a appartenu au groupe "Guyenne" qui, avec son frère jumeau "Tunisie" a accompli deux cent vingt-neuf missions de bombardement : soixante-treize équipages ont été au combat et trente-sept descendus, subissant pour les deux groupes l’holocauste de cent soixante-dix tués ou disparus. Après les récits inoubliés de Jules Roy, le Lieutenant-Colonel Calmel nous paraît, dans ses souvenirs, apporter une note propre : celle de l’homme de métier dans sa machine de combat." — "Sept ans ont passé depuis la fin de la dernière guerre mondiale. De nombreux récits ont évoqué la vie des pilotes et des équipages engagés dans cette tourmente. Quelques-uns seulement, remarquables certes, mais trop rares à mon gré, ont conté les hauts faits d'armes des groupes français de bombardement lourd en Angleterre. Dans une langue merveilleusement pure, Jules Roy a décrit longuement les angoisses de ceux qui enfermés dans leur Halifax, ont affronté les canons de la « Vallée heureuse ». A son poste de bombardier il a, comme nous tous, tremblé. Le capitaine Germain, valeureux navigateur, s'est montré plus technique, mais peut-être moins humain dans ses Mémoires d'un Incendiaire. Il m'a semblé cependant que les sentiments du pilote, leader, responsable de l'équipage, n'avaient pas été suffisamment explicités et c'est ce que j'ai essayé de faire après avoir longuement hésité." — Ingénieur de l'Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Jean Calmel fit une brillante carrière dans l'Armée de l'Air. Passé dans l'Armée de l'Air en 1937, pour y être successivement breveté observateur puis pilote. Il devait terminer sa carrière militaire comme Major Général de l'Armée de l'Air de 1965 a 1967. Mais il faut avoir lu son livre « Pilotes de nuit » pour mesurer son attachement à ses missions comme pilote de bombardiers, pendant la guerre qu'il termina comme commandant de la 3e Escadrille du 2/23 "Guyenne". Il n'est donc pas étonnant qu'il créa et présida l' "Association des Groupes lourds" jusqu'à sa mort. Jean Calmel, ayant quitté l'uniforme, fut nommé directeur des Relations Extérieures de Sud-Aviation en 1967. Il donna toute sa mesure lors du premier vol de "Concorde", à Toulouse, en mars 1969, face à la presse internationale ,impatiente d'assister à l'événement, reporté jour après jour, pour des raisons metéo. Sa diplomatie, son caractère enjoué, sa vive mtelligence et son sens des responsabilités furent mis en lumière. Son courage, consacré par ses nombreuses décorations: Grand officier de la Légion d'honneur, Croix de guerre (6 citations), Distinguished Flying Cross (G.B.), Legion of Merit (U.S.A.) ne le quitta jamais, même dans son combat contre la mort. Il était secrétaire général de la Fondation des Oeuvres Sociales de l'Air... Il meurt en 1987.

‎CALDWELL Donald‎

‎The JG 26 War Diary. Volume One: 1939-1942. FINE COPY IN DUSTWRAPPER‎

‎8vo., First Edition, with very numerous photographs and maps in the text, and endpaper maps; red cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper. With striking wrap-around dustwrapper artwork by Chris Thomas. Jagdgeschwader 26 is undoubtedly the best-known Luftwaffe fighter squadron of WWII. One of only two units to remain on the Western Front throughout the entire war, its operational record, available here for the first time, directly reflects the history of the German fighter arm, the Luftwaffe as a whole, and indeed Germany itself.‎

‎Caldwell, Donald L.; (Foreword by Adolf Galland)‎

From the rear cover: "During the years when the outcome of World War II was very much in doubt the skies over Europe were the setting for the greatest air battles ever fought. In that titanic struggle no pilots were more feared by Allied aircrews than the men of Jagdgeschwader 26 nicknamed the 'Abbeville Kids.' Ask any veteran of the America Eighth Air Force about the Abbeville Kids and he'll tell you stories of Goering's elite yellow-nosed fighter unit whose slashing attacks always seemed to come from the best position. Their fame was legendary and their bases in northern France were to be avoided at all costs. This is the story of the JG 26 pilots. A microcosm of the entire war exists in the rise and fall of this famous fighter wing from its founding during Hitler's military buildup through its glory days in the first years of the war right up to the grim final hours of the Third Reich." Keywords: Aviation history. WWII. Luftwaffe Fighter Corps. . Later printing of the 1991 original. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good condition. 426pp. 16 pages of photos. Great Packaging Fast Shipping.
