"There were thirty-two VCs of the air during the Second World War, yet how many of their names are known today? We have all heard of the exploits of Guy Gibson a nd Leonard Cheshire, but every one of the VCs of the air is associated with deeds equally daring and courageous. In these pages you will read of the forgotten VCs like Kenneth Campbell, who torpedoed the 'Gneisnau' in the harbour of Brest f r o m a h e ight of 50 feet, racing between the flak ships at mast height. William Reid, whose citations reads: 'Wounded in two attacks, without oxygen, suffering severely from cold, his navigator dead, his wireless operator fatally injured, hi s ai rc ra f t c ri pp led and defenceless, he showed superb courage and leadership in penetrating a further 200 miles into enemy territory to attack one of the most strongly defended targets in Germany'; Flight…

Description:
London England: Hutchinson, 1989. Hardback. Henry Fairfax's life is one of amenable routine: accountancy and management by day, the writing of radio plays by night, a circle of friends. Only the stormy relationship between his younger brother and sister-in-law disturbs his equanimity, brining to memory his own marraige, abandoned some years before. Then changes begin to occur, both at work and at home: his relationship with his BBC producer, and with his office boss, are radically reassessed, and his ex-wife Laura, a flourising and energetic businesswoman, re-enters his life as she returns to the Midlands. And suddenly the mildness and caution which had seemed the essence of Henry's nature many not be enough to fulfil him. Stanley Middleton's new novel once more deals with moral choice for seemingly comfortable people in the English Midlans; but the issues it raises go far beyond this background, and the novel stands out as one of Middleton's most impressive achievements. 238 pp.…

Description:
London England: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1970. Colonel Barker's detailed and vigorous account of the Crimean campaigns, during which both the French and the English leaders died of illness and exhaustion, point up the virtues and defects of the strategy, diplomacy and military administration on both sides; and finally nominates the British private soldier as the hero of the campaign. The Crimean War tends to be remembered principally for a cavalry charge and the heroism of a woman. The author's memorable account takes a long-range, more objective stand, which includes in its focus the Russian view, and which brings alive the battles of Alma, Inkerman, Balaclava and Sebastopol. Very slight foxing to edges. Couple of closed tears to top edge of D/J.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
