"The real-life quest to free WWII planes 6 P-38 Lightnings and 2 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers entombed within a Greenland glacier. They had become an Arctic legend. Tales of an entire squadron of war-birds from 1942 still sitting on the ice in Greenland were passed from one pilot to another. On a jaunt to the far north in 1980 two pilots from Atlanta Georgia heard the story and decided to look for the lost planes. What began as casual curiosity soon became a twelve-year adventure and a multimillion-dollar obsession. Here is the gripping true story of how perseverance triumphed over seemingly impossible odds in pursuit of a dream." Slight bump at top of spine very light wrinkling at bottom of spine.

2 GROUP R.A.F. A COMPLETE HISTORY 1936-1945. RAF
Somerton Somerset: Crecy 1992. 532 pp large 8vo 9 1/2' H. B&w photographs maps. "No. 2 Group was formed in Bomber Command to support the Army. After equipping with Blenheims it specialized in daylight operations. It engaged in the first raid of the war. After taking part in the Norweigan campaign it was thrown into the struggle to save France. Heavy losses ensued during operations demanding great courage. A hazardous anti-shipping campaign took the Group to Malta. Night intruder operations were made against airfields and fighter-escorted attacks on Occupied Territory continued until the 1944 Allied landings in France where support to the invasion was subsequently given and an effective night interdictor campaign carried out. The Group mounted many spectacular operations particularly when using Mosquitoes. This is indeed a story of immense courage. Based upon records maintained by Royal Air Force Commands Groups and Squadrons together with personal accounts by those who flew with the Group the book gives a detailed day-by-day picture of operations their planning and execution illustrated with detailed maps. Appendices give plentiful details of the aircraft the squadrons and the Group's wartime effort." Book is Fine. Dust jacket is clean and bright. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Crecy Hardcover

"Beginning with a general description of a typical wartime bomber airfield this book goes on to relate in their own words the personal stories of several crews and their missions.

All the courage drama tragedy and indeed humour of war is contained in this compelling documentary which will appeal both to modern historians and enthusiasts as well as to those who remember the dark but strangely exhilarating days which it recalls."

The author examines the role each aircraft played in the war and veterans describe in spirited detail what it was like to fly and fight in the war's most renowned aircraft. For the first time in print 'Gunner' reveals not just the turrets of such famous aircraft as the Lancaster and the B-17 but also the rarely seen gun positions of aircraft such as the German Me 410 the Italian S.M. 79 and the Russian Il-2 Shturmovik. Many of the featured aircraft saw battle and have been preserved or meticulously restored. This book allows us to imagine what it must have been like to be an air gunner in the Second World War."

Shrewsbury: Airlife 1995. 252 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs. "Based on extensive interviews which the author had with Douglas Bader during the last thirteen years of his life it tells the full story from his childhood to his work with the disabled in later life. After a flying accident in which he lost his legs Douglas Bader was invalided out of the RAF. At the outbreak of war in 1939 he was recalled to the RAF and returned to flying. He fought in the Battle of Britain and later in nearly one hundred offensive fighter patrols. Follow-ing a mid-air collision he was captured and became a prisoner-of-war and was imprisoned in Colditz. The story of his war-time activities both in the air and as a POW is told in some detail and makes fascinating reading. These activities helped him to achieve celebrity status and in later life much of his time was given to promoting causes for the disabled." Very small faint soiling mark on bottom of text block.

"Charles Pickard joined the Royal Air Force before the outbreak of World War II and at the beginning of hostilities was posted to No.99 Bomber Squadron and was later to command the Czech 311 Squadron. He took part in the Bruneval raid and came to the forefront of public attention when he starred as 'F for Freddie' in 'Target for Tonight' a film made to illustrate the operational role of the bomber. His secret missions began when he was posted to RAF Tempsford the jumping off ground for the SOE operations from where as a Lysander pilot his sorties took him deep into enemy territory at night to drop secret agents and supplies. Time after time he demonstrated his extraordinary ability for night flying but ironically was killed while taking a prominent part in the famous daylight raid on the prison at Amiens." Book is Near Fine. Dust jacket has very light wrinkling at top of rear flap - very minor edge/wrinkling wear elsewhere very light rubbing an area of printing ink smudges on inside surface. Reprint.

After a period of further investigation into the remains' identity together with some initial preservation work the aircraft is finally put on display at the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon. The second part of the book attempts to recreate the sequence of events during the raid which led to the aircraft's loss." Book is slightly cocked previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown.

US NAVAL AIRPOWER: SUPERCARRIER IN ACTION.
Osceola WI: Motorbooks International 1987. 128 pp square 9 1/4" H x 9 1/4" D. Profusely illustrated with color photographs. "The aircraft carrier is many things apart from a ship. It is a floating airbase a symbol of power and a seagoing home to more than 5000 men. In fact the crew complement of a carrier is three times that of the biggest battle-ship of the 1940s. Every member of the crew from the captain to the commander of the air wing to the first-cruise enlisted man is trained in and works in the culture of naval aviation a culture that addresses the demands of survival in the world's two most unforgiving professions: seamanship and aviation. Watching some of the inhabitants of this small city gives some idea of the challenges they routinely face in their day-to-day work. This is an outsider's look inside. Renowned 'Time' photographer Neil Leifer went onboard USS Carl Vinson America's largest nuclear-powered carrier to photograph 'a day in the life of' feature. This is what he saw. Aviation specialist Bill Sweetman saw these superb graphic photographs and captioned them with near classified detail. So that every enthusiast avid or simply passing could draw interest and knowledge from within." Bump to top of spine light edge wear. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling/creasing - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds one small edge tear archivally taped. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.

Dow James.
THE ARROW.
Toronto: James Lorimer 1979. 160 pp 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "The Arrow supersonic fighter appeared on Avro's drawing boards in 1952 and was in the air by 1958. Test flights were a great success and five aircraft had flown by 1959. Then came the dramatic decision whose rationale was not made public at the time and which even now seems obscure. The Arrow was cancelled and everything to do with it including the planes that had already flown was broken into scrap. Nothing was to remain. To tell the story of the Arrow James Dow explores the impressive experience of Canada's aircraft industry created from virtually nothing during the Second World War by C.D. Howe and recruits from the business world. Avro was put together when the government aircraft companies were sold off at the war's end. Avro's first postwar project was the Jetliner conceived in 1945 for Air Canada then TCA. It was very nearly the world's first passenger jet and was first in the air in August 1949 only days behind Britain's Comet. Avro's military experience came with the CF-100 Canuck fighter which flew first in 1951. There was even an experimental flying saucer built for the U.S. armed forces. The Arrow was to be the culmination of this experience and this success."
