Zustand: New.

hardcover. first edition. 8vo 334pp. + illustrations. from front flap: "General Charles de Gaulle is one of the most controversial figures in the world. He has been represented as a dangerous threat to the liberty of Frenchmen, as a misguided patriot vainly attempting to recapture France's past glories. More recently there has been a growing recognition that in statecraft, as in strategy, his clear-sighted and common-sense thinking is often well ahead of his contemporaries. Yet to most people he is still an enigma. This careful study of de Gaulle lays no claim to being a definitive biography. But it does answer the essential questions about him." #01235. good: spotting/stains to boards and spine, mild toning/foxing to endpapers. text clean, binding tight and square. very good: age toning, NOT clipped ($5.95).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A classic memoir of WWI flying Wind in the Wires, first published in 1933, paints a vivid picture of early war training and combat, from the already outmoded Maurice Farman Longhorn, to the relatively sophisticated Bristol B.E.2. After training at Shoreham as an eighteen-year-old Grinnell-Milne was posted in 1915 to 16 Squadron near Merville. His time was not happy, discipline and morale were poor. In May 1915 he was shot down and spent two years as a prisoner of war, finally escaping and returning to England. Officially banned from further fighting, he managed to return to the front to fly with the famed 56 Squadron, in an S.E.5a. The author's eye for detail, sense of humour, and his truly hair-raising experiences make this a charming and riveting read to rank with the greats of Cecil Lewis, Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Arthur Gould Lee. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Mass Market Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. New Edition. 316 Pages. Tight square book with faultless interior pages. The only defect noted is a very slightly concave spine. Seventy-eight combat missions and firty-seven accredited victories in air battles make the name of Major McCuddenhigh amongthe lists of the flying heroes of World War 1. Here, in his own words, is his story of that war in the air as it really was, of patrols and dog fights and daily dangers. Aviation enthusiasts calll his book one of the ten best narratives on World War 1 aviation and it has been one of the most sought-after and highly prized of books. It's a fitting addition to Ace's Air Combat Classics. He has a knowing evye for the color and characteristics of his foes, and admiration for their skill. The book is tinged with the air of mixed innocence and gallantry which marked this gentleman's war above the ground and with grim humor. Flying Fury is both a valuable insight into the world of early aviation and a powerful account of courage and survival above the mud and trenches of Flanders. Fighter ace James McCudden died in July 1918, after engine failure caused his plane to crash just four months before the end of World War I. His success as one of Britain's deadliest pilots earned him the Victoria Cross.…
