19558vo., First Edition thus, with frontispiece, 41 plates on 22, and 3 full-page maps and 2 full-page charts in the text; handsomely bound in full navy crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with a propeller motif, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. General Adolf Galland (1912-1996), one of Germany's leading fighter pilots of WWII, served as General der Jagdflieger (overall commander of the national fighter force) from 1941 to 1945. His combat career began in the Spanish Civil War during which he completed over 300 missions with Condor Legion. Throughout the Battle of Britain he served with III/JG26 against England and Northern France, and in 1942 devised the successul air protection of Operation CERBERUS, the famous 'Channel Dash' of the SCHARNHORST, GNEISENAU AND PRINZ EUGEN. Later in the same year he tested an early prototype of the Me262, the world's first operational jet fighter, before leaving combat to concentrate on the air defence of Germany against the RAF and USAAF bombing offensive. Increasingly critical of higher Nazi authority, he was relieved of his command following the 'Fighter Revolt' and returned to front-line duty with the elite Jagdverband in the Spring of 1945. He finished the war with 103 victories on over 700 missions and was awarded the Knight's Cross with Oakleaves, Swords and Diamonds, one of Germany's highest decorations. Galland's autobiography was first published as 'Die Ersten und die Letzen' in 1953 and is widely regarded as the most insightful and far-reaching account of WWII Axis air combat and one of the finest overall aviation memoirs of all time. VERY SCARCE. Enser, p.183.

The stirring 'Dam Busters March', written by Eric Coates as the theme to the movie, was almost immediately adopted as an official march of the Royal Air Force. Increasingly difficult to find in this condition. Enser, p.64; Mulholland & Jordan B121 (recording the first edition).
1957Single sheet, 8vo., a near fine copy. Signed simply 'Tedder' in the writer's usual manner, the letter is written to Geoffrey Moore, founder of the Buccaneers Cricket Club, and demonstrates the airman's keen and continuing interest in the sport. Tedder was President of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1953 to 1958. The letter regretfully declines Moore's invitation to attend the Buccaneer's annual dinner (held at Lords). Marshal of the RAF Arthur William Tedder, 1st Baron Tedder (1890-1967) was one of Britain's most distinguished air commanders. Educated at Whitgift School and Magdalene College, Cambridge, he transferred from the Dorsetshire Regiment to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, serving in France from 1915- to 1917 and in Egypt from 1918 to 1919. He was then commissioned in to the (new) Royal Air Force where was appointed Director of Training from 1934 to 1936, after which he became Commander RAF Far Eastern Forces. During WWII he was head of RAF Middle East Command, controlling Allied air operations in the Mediterranean and North Africa, including the evacuation of Crete and the defeat of Rommel; his air power was a vital component of Montgomery's victory at El Alamein. Having been promoted to Air Marshal, Tedder then took part in the early planning for D-Day, and was subsequently appointed Deputy Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe (the most senior such British position) immediately beneath General Eisenhower, on whose behalf he signed at the German Surrender in 1945. In 1947 he delivered the Lees Knowles lecture, afterwards published as 'Air Power in War'. Following his retirement he served as Chancellor of Cambridge University and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors of the BBC. Founded in 1930, The Buccaneers is one of the oldest and most famous 'wandering' clubs in English cricket (a 'wandering' club has no fixed home ground but plays consistently as an 'away' team relying on the hospitality of the 'home' clubs against which it competes). The Club's history has been written twice, by Clifford Bax in 1956 and more recently by Howard Spencer. ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY TEDDER ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE.

The first photograph depicts students and work benches stretching into the distance building breaking down and repairing a myriad of flathead and V-8 engines drive trains wheels and even attaching Liberty engines to propellers in the distant background. The second focuses on assembly of what appears to be a large Cadillac V-8 engine with cylinders and crank case being attached to the block along with the heads; while the final two images capture rear differentials engine parts transmission parts and camshaft all displayed out and carefully edited with details enhanced or removed as per instructions in pencil at lower fore-edge and verso. The two ummounted photos include an image of students and instructors seated and standing in semi-circle on the shop floor under a huge “No Smoking” sign with wheels engine parts and closed cab sedan parked behind them as well with more engine machine parts stacked above; while the other focuses on an electrical department with a variety of batteries on benches and stacked on shelves behind. The first includes one of the students with arm draped over the person standing next to him holding a “Student Composition Book” while the other features a “Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Telephone Directory” hanging from the wall next to the battery racks.

First edition of this exceedingly scarce flight handbook for the famed North Americaqn F-86A Sabrejet swept wing fighter jet. This jet fought continual high-speed dogfights over Korea with similar swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 jet fighters and was considered the best fighter aicraft in the war. It experienced an extended production run of over 7800 aircraft through 1956 and was used in Air Forces around the world until 1994. This handbook details the capabilities for the aircraft armed with .50-caliber machine guns carrying bombs rockets or chemical tanks powered by the J47 turbojet engine operating limitations flight characteristics systems operation crew duties and all-weather operations. Many of the American pilots flying the Sabrejets during the Korean War were experienced World War II veterans.
