No highlighting. No margin notes. 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."

Through her research Nattanya exposes rare data on aircrew health concerns which are inextricably interwoven with her own story and illustrated by personal accounts. Broken Wings explores other health issues deeply affecting professional flyers including: turbulence air rage radiation exposure circadian rhythm disturbances flight phobia and anxiety alcoholism and psychiatric illnesses in air crew air quality and quantity and airplanes as disease incubators. For the first time a professional flyer offers us insights not only into PTSD but into the airline industry and some of its most serious failings when it comes to the health and safety of its inflight workers and its clients." .

‎The Rise of the Luftwaffe : Forging the Secret German Air Weapon 1918 - 1940‎

‎New York: The Dial Press 1973. Square tight unmarked copy. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped 10.00. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Illustrated with 52 pages of vintage photos and 2 maps. "First Printing 1973" so stated. From the lightly soiled Dust Jacket: "This fascinating account details the subterfuge and ingenuity used to create the new Luftwaffe. Denied aircraft factories and flight schools in their homeland the Germans built them in Russia and there trained an elite pilot corps. At home clandestine factories ostensibly making baby carriages or washing machines turned out warplanes. The air force of 'volunteers' in their covertly constructed fighters and bombers was tested in Spain where air-blitzkrieg tactics were first used with devastating effect against towns such as Guernica and Madrid. Mr. Mason explodes the myth of German organizational and technical superiority: meddling by Hitler bickering between designers and bureaucrats and bungling by morphine-addicted Goering cost the Luftwaffe a war-winning strategic bombing force and jet fighters even before World War II began."
