Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. First Edition. Now published in its entirety for the first time, the personal diary of Major 'Mick' Mannock, winner of a posthumous VC in 1918 is one of the most important aviation documents of the First World War. It gives us a unique insight into the personality of the half-blind fighter pilot who rose from the distressed poverty of an Irish family to command the famous No. 85 Squadron. This famous fighter pilot was "officially credited with 73 victories, but actually accounted for more than 100 enemy pilots. No fighter pilot ever shot down more aggressors." Photos. 221 pages.
