BUCK McNAIR: CANADIAN SPITFIRE ACE. THE STORY OF GROUP CAPTAIN R W McNAIR DSO DFC & 2 Bars Ld'H CdG RCAF.
London: Grub Street 2001. 179 pp large 8vo 9 7/16" H. B&w photographs Spitfire profiles. "Robert 'Buck' McNair came from Nova Scotia the second of three sons born of a mix of Scottish and German parents. As a young man he became interested in flight and was lucky enough to be able to fly floatplanes off the Canadian lakes. When war came he went through flight training in Canada sailed to England and in the summer of 1941 found himself in the newly formed 411 Squadron RCAF. Eventually this unit began flying sweeps over Northern France and he saw his first combat actions during that autumn. An aggressive fighter pilot he was chosen by his Canadian CO to accompany him to the besieged island of Malta in the spring of 1942 to coincide with the arrival on that island of the first Spitfires." McNair went on to win three DFCs and a DSO among other awards and although he was twice wounded his score of victories reached 16 "with others probably destroyed and damaged. This is a remarkable story of courage and heroism by one of the Second World War's top-scoring fighter pilots who inspired his men and fellow pilots in actions above the skies of France and Malta and who despite being almost blind in one eye continued to lead and spur his men onto greater actions." One very tiny corner bump to front board. Dust jacket has very minor edge wear/wrinkling minor rubbing. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Grub Street Hardcover

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.

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." Three small dints on rear board light rubbing.

WEAPONS FREE. THE STORY OF A GULF WAR HELICOPTER PILOT.
Crecy Manchester 1998. 216 pp large 8vo 9 7/8" H hard cover in dust jacket. B&w and color photographs. "In September 1990 Richard Boswell was a newly qualified helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy fresh out of flight school and flying one of the most potent fighting helicopters in the world - the Westland Lynx. The world was at his feet in every sense. Then on the day he and his girlfriend decided to buy a house together Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. With less than 24 hours notice Richard Boswell was onboard HMS Manchester and en-route to the Gulf and impending war. Once in the Gulf HMS Manchester prepared for the seaborne invasion that most thought was inevitalbe. Boswell saw action against Iraqi forces protecting Allied ships and sinking a number of Iraqi gunboats. After the liberation of Kuwait he flew extensively around the devastated country when his duties included a spell as pilot for Sir Peter de la Billiere. But his story does not end there. After returning to the UK Boswell became an instructor and also indulged his passion for flying home-built aircraft a passion that led to the accident that nearly killed him and ended his days as a Navy pilot. The portrayal of the battle to rebuilt his shattered life is every bit as graphic as his wartime experiences in the Gulf." Minor wrinkling at top of spine - very light at bottom.

TORPEDO LEADER.
London: Grub Street 1992. 206 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs map. "A first-hand and very personal story its lucid exciting and readable narrative describes firstly the author's frustration as a Staff Officer in Cairo then more significantly his triumphs and disasters as a Beaufort Flight Commander on anti-shipping operations from Malta in that crucial summer of 1942. Fighting uphill battles against 'the powers that be' Gibbs remained utterly dedicated to the airborne torpedoes as a weapon of war against shipping and succeeded in changing not only tactical but also strategic policy - very rare indeed for a junior officer. But his book also gives new insight into the often haphazard way war was waged in the Mediterranean the daily dangers the inveitable losses."
