Large book in good condition - markings and fading on front and back covers - spine faded - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout."RAAF Log", Christmas book for 1943, is in direct descent from "These Eagles", the first Christmas book of the R.A.A.F. to which it is a full brother.
