Luftgangsters
University Park Florida:: Destiny House 2002. Bright shiny clean square tight and unmarked. Dust Jacket is not price-clipped 29.95. No chips. No tears. No creases. Not a book club edition. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder marks. Fresh and crisp apparently never read. "LUFTGANGSTERS is a completely original tale of the storied Eighth Air Force of the Air War over Germany and of the notorious Stalag Luft III." From the Dust Jacket: "During the 1930's the Nazi hierarchy became obsessed with sensational reports of the Chicago gangsters Al Capone and his ilk. So when the Reichsminister of Propaganda wanted to demonize the British and American air forces he combined the German word Luft air with 'gangsters' and thus we were portrayed in the German press. Luftgangsters. Just as we laughed at the Nazi propaganda tools Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally and enjoyed the music they beamed at us remember Lili Marlene so we reveled in the title of Luftgangster. When America was overtaken by the events of December 7 1941 two young friends rushed to join the Army Air Corps. This novel is not a memoir; the author's experience is not the story but it serves to create authentic scenes of the Yanks in Britain .of the Air War over Germany and the lives of prisoners-of-war and a grand scheme by top Nazis to wangle a separate peace to save their own necks." Bound in the publisher's red leatherette. Signed by Author signature only. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xi 649pp. Destiny House Hardcover

A free-spirited intellectual with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a poet Magee grew up on Chicago's rambunctious South Side dreaming of the day when he could fly fighter planes into combat. He joined the from the Royal Canadian Air Force as a flying cadet in 1941. Later after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought America into the war he transferred to the U.S. Marine Corps. Following completion of flight training he was sent to the South Pacific where his bravery and piloting skills earned him. the Navy Cross. When the war ended the fiercely independent Magee refused to pursue a conventional lifestyle or take advantage of the fame that awaited him in his hometown choosing instead to seek new adventures. During the next twelve years he walked the razor's edge: black marketeer bootlegger volunteer fighter pilot for the fledgling nation of Israel courier for a covert group of U.S. 'businessmen' involved in Latin American politics and eventually bank robber. Then one day Chris Magee found an envelope slipped under his front door with a note inside that ultimately changed his life causing him to revisit parts of his past he thought were forever forgotten."

From the Dust Jacket: "Vividly capturing the experiences of the author and his fellow airmen these stories focus on the people who served in the United States air forces from World War II through the Korean War -- their triumphs humor loves and sometimes violent deaths. A pilot who flew 103 missions with the famed Flying Knights squadron in World War II tested atomic bombs for the U.S. Air Force on Eniwetok Atoll and flew sixty-nine helicopter rescue missions in the Korean War Richard C. Kirkland recreates the riveting episodes and memorable characters that shaped his life between 1943 and 1953. He describes encounters with some of the top flying aces of his day the indelible experience of victory in battle and emotional rescues in the world's first military helicopters.

Luftgangsters
University Park Florida: Destiny House 2002. Bright shiny clean square tight and unmarked. Dust Jacket is not Price Clipped 29.95. No chips. No tears. No creases. Not a book club edition. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder marks. Fresh and crisp apparently never read. Sharp corners. "LUFTGANGSTERS is a completely original tale of the storied Eighth Air Force of the Air War over Germany and of the notorious Stalag Luft III." From the Dust Jacket: "During the 1930's the Nazi hierarchy became obsessed with sensational reports of the Chicago gangsters Al Capone and his ilk. So when the Reichsminister of Propaganda wanted to demonize the British and American air forces he combined the German word Luft air with 'gangsters' and thus we were portrayed in the German press. Luftgangsters. Just as we laughed at the Nazi propaganda tools Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally and enjoyed the music they beamed at us remember Lili Marlene so we reveled in the title of Luftgangster. When America was overtaken by the events of December 7 1941 two young friends rushed to join the Army Air Corps. This novel is not a memoir; the author's experience is not the story but it serves to create authentic scenes of the Yanks in Britain .of the Air War over Germany and the lives of prisoners-of-war and a grand scheme by top Nazis to wangle a separate peace to save their own necks." Bound in the publisher's red leatherette. Signed by Author signature only. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xi 649pp. . Destiny House Hardcover

Bound in the original maroon boards. From the LIBRARY JOURNAL review by Michael Coleman: "As a 19-year-old navigator with the Eighth Air Force Stewart logged combat time in a B-24 Liberator named the Gremlin Manor. He navigated on 31 missions that dumped 8000 pounds of explosives on enemy targets over Europe. Keeping a journal was strictly against regulations but Stewart secretly wrote about his exploits and those of his crew. His recollections describe in vivid detail everything about the harrowing life of the combat navigator beginning with the training and in an appendix he tells how he guided the Gremlin Manor over preplanned routes. He also introduces the reader to the all-important dead-reckoning procedures along with the instruments and devices. What makes Stewart's book unique amidst a flood of World War II memoirs is his detailed descriptions of how he navigated and the equipment he used which gives his book a you-were-there feel. After seeing Memphis Belle a dozen times here is the real thing.". Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket. 8vo. viii 213pp. . McGraw Hill Hardcover
