About This Item
C2b: Putnam. Very Good. 1979. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. 1979. 323 pgs. Signed and inscribed by the author and numerous Air American pilots to Air America USAF liasion officer Col Martin Kaufman on the FFEP. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the extremities of the DJ. Bound in blue cloth stamped in silver and blind. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards lightly rubbed and worn. The incredible inside story of the world's most extraordinary covert operation. Air America - a secret airline run by the CIA - flew missions no one else would touch, from General Claire Cennault's legendary Flying Tigers in WW II to two brutal decades cruising over the bomb-savaged jungles of Southeast Asia. Their pilots dared all and did all - a high-rolling, fast-playing bunch of has-beens and hellraisers whose motto was 'Anything, Anywhere, Anytime'. Whether it was delivering food and weapons or spooks and opium, Air America was the one airline where you didn't need reservations - just a hell of a lot of courage and a willingness to fly to the bitter end. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
