Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+. First Edition. Some wear to edges of dust-jacket. Some abrasions to dust-jacket spine. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 350, [2 (blank)] pages + frontispiece + plates. Blue cloth boards with black panel and gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 215 x 139mm. Autobiography. Military history, World War Two. "'Mission Completed' is the personal story of a great man of action. Sir Basil writes of his early life as a young officer in Irag and India, then of his recall to England at the outbreak of war. Soon he was flying over Norway and France with his Blenheim squadron. He was the first to sight the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau on their way to Norway and was one of the few survivors of a bomber attack on the Maastricht bridges. In a reconnaisance flight over enemy-occupied territory in the Battle of France he was shot down and taken prisoner. Then followed a dizzy series of captures and escapes. Dressed as a tramp, changing roles as French, Belgian, American or Irish refugee at will, he first tried to reach the Allied lines, but after Dunkirk made his way to the South of France and so to England." - from dust-jacket blurb.
