The descriptions of air-fights are remarkably well done..." The novel is based on the author Stewart's own experiences with 54 Sqdrn. Orig. black cloth, titled in black on green panels, VG in somewhat chipped & worn but scarce & attractive dw. Rare in any state or edition, but particularly with dw. See illustrations on our webste.
