1982531 pages including index and black and white illustrations. A fascinating book about wartime politics, military strategies, and the birth pains of an independent U.S. Air Force - which was forged in fire over Brest, Schweinfurt, and Berlin. Sequel to author's A Few Great Captains - which traced the history of the U.S. Army Air Corps from its beginning to the onset of the German Blitzkrieg - picks up the story where Captains left off and continues through the strategic bombing of the Third Reich from 1942 to the end of the war in Europe. The story of a handful of air commanders who risked all for what they believed, at the conference table and in the cockpit. Prior owner's bookplate upon front endpaper else unmarked. Very light wear. Clean and unmarked. Small tears and moderate edgewear to dust jacket. Excellent copy. Book

réf. 2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
