Auckland: Random House, 2000. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Very lightly read with only light shelf wear. First built in the 1930s, the Douglas DC-3/Dakota was an adpatable aircraft that filled a variety of roles: military transport (as a gunship, glider tug and air ambulance), commercial travel, freighter transport and even topdressing. This book tells the story of the DC-3 in New Zealand. First introduced during World War II, the aircraft became a vital part of the RNZAF fleet.

UK: Viking, 2009. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A very clean copy which feels unread. The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of Liberation had their darker side. The war in northern France marked not just a generation but the whole of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe. Making use of overlooked and new material from over thirty archives in half a dozen countries, D-Day is the most vivid and well-researched account yet… Read More

Washington D.C: Brassey's Inc, 2001. Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. A very clean copy. On June 6, 1944, one of the greatest military operations in history succeeded in landing some 155,000 men of the Allied armies on the shores of northern France. Before winning the battle of Normandy in late August, those troops endured some of the most savage and costly fighting of World War II. These ordinary men, far from home, confronted the day-to-day realities of the battlefield. They recall living in the open, surviving on uncertain rations and too little sleep; braving the terror of constant enemy fire and the shock of seeing friends killed and maimed; and suffering the ordeal of killing and of its aftermath. In D-Day and the Battle for Normandy, they tell us about those extraordinary days that changed the course of the war.
