Beschreibung
London: Hutchinson, 1981. 2nd impression. Tall 8vo. PRESENTATION COPY SIGNED BY BOTH LUCAS AND BADER. 303pp. Very fine in a dust jacket. Bader joined the RAF in 1928, and was commissioned in 1930. In December 1931, while attempting some aerobatics, he crashed and lost both his legs. Having been on the brink of death, he recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot. Although there were no regulations applicable to his situation, he was retired against his will on medical grounds. After the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, however, Douglas Bader returned to the RAF and was accepted as a pilot. He scored his first victories over Dunkirk during the Battle of France in 1940. He then took part in the Battle of Britain. He went on to be a successful businessman and an advocate for the disabled.
