Island in the Sky

- very good
- Hardcover
Hodder & Stoughton, 1955. Island in the Sky was the first book to be written about the Army Air Transport Command during WWII. It is also the first book of Ernest Gann's to be made into a motion picture that starred John Wayne. Island in the Sky is not a war story, but based on a true incident that happened in the frozen lands of Northern Canada. It is a tale of survival and comradeship. review >>> Gann was a left-seat man and he was able to tranfer his need for perfection to the printed page. A veteran pilot will find no flaws or mistakes or stupid exaggerations in the technical descriptions in this book. Ernie Gann will put you in the left seat and make you sweat. He will give you the sense and the thrill of flying a four-engine transport under dubious conditions in 1944. 193pp less than 500g for post - faults? dj spine slight sunning.. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good/Good. 19cm.
