Inhaltsangabe
Last Hope is the story of the often heroic by governments to provide their aerial warriors with the tools to evade capture when forced down in enemy controlled territory, as told by the most visible and visually stunning artifact of this effort, the Blood Chit. Illustrated with the most comprehensive collection of color photographs of Blood Chits and related evasion aids ever assembled, it provides readers an unparalleled opportunity to discover the beauty and variety of these lifesaving artifacts of war. In addition to Blood Chits, a number of the beautiful theater-made souvenir patches in the form of Blood Chits are also illustrated. This definitive history of Blood Chits from their infancy at the dawn of the air age through their maturity at the close of World War II was compiled from accounts provided by more than fifty veteran airmen and intelligence officers from around the world, and from more than seventy formerly classified government documents. Last Hope is a thoroughly annotated and fully illustrated journey into the secretive world of air crew evasion and escape aides for the casual reader and serious researcher alike, and is a valuable resource for the military and aviation enthusiast, collector, researcher, and museum curator.

Hardbound. Zustand: Fine. Description: This is a numbered volume (number 235) and is Signed by author R E Baldwin, with a personalized note. Profusely illustrated, mostly in color. The ''blood-chit'' was a piece of paper carried by U.S. servicemen to help negotiate their safe return. The chits had a serial number which could identify the crewman who carried it, and had monetary value. Translated into many languages, the chits carried a message to the effect that the U.S. would reward the person who helped the serviceman. Blood Chits have been used to gather information on missing crewmen dating back before World War II. General Chennault's P40 pilots wore them on the back of their flight jackets. This definitive history of Blood Chits from their infancy through their maturity at the close of World War II was compiled from accounts provided by more than fifty veteran airmen and intelligence officers from around the world, and from more than seventy formerly classified government documents. BINDING/CONDITION: gray cloth with black text; a Fine book, with a Fine dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. glossary, notes, bibliography, index.
