Description:
Shippensburg, PA: Burd Street Press, 1992. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/fine. A near fine first edition in a fine dust jacket. Blue cloth boards. White endpapers with toning to pastedowns. xvi, 176 pages : illustrations. Octavo. This unpretentious memoir features a neglected airplane and an overlooked Air Force. In 1944 Currier, who retired in 1969, was the navigator of a B-24 Liberator, flying strategic-bombardment missions with the 15th Air Force, based in Italy. The B-24, overshadowed by its more exciting stablemate, the Flying Fortress, was nevertheless an excellent aircraft for the long ranges and demanding flight conditions of the Mediterranean theater. And if the primary targets of the 15th Air Force lacked the obvious glamour of Hamburg or Berlin, Ploesti, Regensburg and Vienna were no milk runs. Currier's matter-of-fact description of the war of attrition waged over Europe during WW II is highlighted by a minor statistic. Of the 17 crews trained together in Currier's squadron, 10… Read More

The book covers both the combat groups that served overseas and those that remained in the United States. It also covers combat organizations above the group level. It does not deal with provisional organizations or with air base, maintenance, supply, medical, transport, and other service or support organizations. Although this book is… Read More

Description:
[Charleston, IL]: [self-published], 1991. First Edition. Glossy pictorial cover. Fine/none as issued. As New. Issued without dust jacket. 153 pages, 23 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations. Octavo. This is a story of the 499th Bomb. Squadron on Biak off the coast of New Guinea during WWII; I have strived to make it as accurate as possible. Most events are true. Charlie Phillips, Vic Tatelman, Corie Johnson, Henry Jepson and Robert Stewart are still living to attest to the accuracy of several episodes. Brig. General Richard Reinbold, our commanding officer, can verify events concerning administration. I did not keep a diary, but I have referred to the daily letters I wrote my wife for special events and dates. Many specific details of traumatic events have been supplied by living members of the squadron; they are crystal clear after over forty years. It is always difficult for an author to separate the reported events which might have happened. One fictitious character, Carl Zark, is a… Read More

Las Cruces, NM: Yucca Tree Press, 1993. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Fine/fine. A fine first edition, first printing (as stated). In a fine dust jacket. xxi, 424 pages : illustrations, facsimiles, photographs ; Octavo. Little has been written about the contributions of enlisted combat aircrew members during World War II. Also, the importance of crew unity has not been sufficiently emphasized. BLOODY SKIES is the story of a Fifteenth Air Force B-17 crew that often flew the notorious Old Flak Holes & how they learned to respect & trust each other. Training made them cohesive; crisis & tragedy bonded them. They arrived at Amendola, Italy on the day their entire squadron, the Twentieth, had been wiped out by the Luftwaffe. That was their introduction to war. Ten enthusiastic, bright-eyed, cocky boys experience a fatigue & weariness so overpowering it seems to go deep into the bones. It is only their pride in themselves, their crew & their country that keeps them returning… Read More

New York: Random House, 1979. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Fine/near fine. A fine first edition, first printing in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Jacket showing minimum amount of wear. xxix, 718 pages, 16 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; maps; index. Octavo, he Boer War (1899-1902) looms in retrospect as Britain's Vietnam: a limited engagement that would "be over by Christmas," it turned into the longest, the bloodiest, "and the most humiliating war for Britain between 1815 and 1914." Powerful Britain could take no comfort, moreover, from its terminus, for even if the Boer guerrillas "lost the war, they won the peace." Thomas Pakenham, one of the auspiciously prolific Longfords (he is the brother of Antonia Fraser, above), has now given this epochal contest its first full-length treatment in nearly 70 years. In the course of his long narrative, he skillfully maps out the causes, the course and the aftereffects of the war. He examines the… Read More

Both of the authors were personally involved in the process. The initial plan was to present as objective an account as possible of the bombing. The response to this initial plan, orchestrated by the American Legion and right-wing Congresslonal and media figures, dramatically demonstrated the strength of the national belief system, with its refusal to acknowledge historical realities which might promote guilt or anxiety, held by so many of the… Read More
