A very fine, detailed account of the operations of this Army Co-operation Squadron, i.e., artillery observation &c., flying RE8s in France 1917-1918 (Flanders, Somme, Amiens 1918 &c.), with excellent photos. (inc. several named group photos.) & fine maps. Appendices include rolls of all ranks who served with the squadron, roll of awards. Orig. blue cloth, titled in black, VG in internally repaired but equally nice dw. It is believed that just 75 copies were printed, & it is certainly exceptionally rare, especially in this condition with dw, & this copy additionally inscribed "Helen Wrigley" - presumably a relative of the author. See illustrations on our website.
