About This Item
London: Evan Brothers Limited, 1954. Among the names of those R.A.F. men whose gallantry and skill earned the public's deep gratitude and captured its imagination one, that of Group-Captain Leonard Cheshire, V.C. D.S.O. D.F.C., stands alone. Cheshire led the immortal 617 Squadron. His ice-cold brain and nerve enabled him to perfect the most hair-raising bombing technique ever conceived.. Cheshire's courage was recognised and summed up in the V.C. Citation which said of him: He has the reputation second to none in Bomber Command. What sort of man is this brilliant air-ace? What filled the years before the war and after? The author has pieced together an intimate and fascinating story. He has used material hitherto unavailable and enjoyed the full co-operation and collaboration of Cheshire himself and many people who knew him personally. Cheshire was a shocked witness of the bombing of Nagasaki. Black cloth boards. A very generous list of illustrations accompany text throughout. Small stain to fep. Light wear to board extremities. Text shows toning. A sound copy... an excellent read.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
