Condition: New. 2003 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1920). SB. xx + 145pp b/w photographs , 2 colour folding maps.Published Price £11.50 A nail-bitingly exciting narrative, this is the history of a specialist RFC Scout squadron formed in in 1916. which served above the western front in the battles of the Somme, Arras, third Ypres (Passchendaele) and the German offensives in March 1918, when it became Sixty Squadron of the new RAF. Although there is a full discussion of technical problems, a glossary of technical terms and a guide to the aircraft with which the Squadron was equipped, the main aim of the book is telling the thrilling story of air combat against the formidable German enemy. As Lord Hugh Cecil writes in his vivid Preface: 'Many people feel apprehensive at flying at all.but to fly and fight, to sit alone in an aeroplane thousands of feet above the ground, to catch sight of an enemy, to go to attack him, flying faster than an express train moves, to venture near as may be dared, knowing that the slightest collision will cast both helpless to the ground, to dodge and dive and turn and spin, to hide in clouds or in the dazzle of the sun, to fire a machine gun while not losing mastery of the control and rudder of one's own aeroplane, to notice the enemy's bullets striking here and there on one's machine, and know that if a bullet hits the engine it means either death or a precarious landing and captivity, and if a bullet hits the petrol tank it means being burned alive in the air, and yet to fight on and, escaping, to go forth afresh next day - surely to read of this is to realise with new and penetrating force the stupendous measure of what human skill can do and human courage dare'. Illustrated with 21 photographs and pictures; and two maps, and accompanied by two appendices listing officers who served in the squadron and their fates, this is a book that no-one remotely interested in the Great War in the air will want to be without.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El 28 de abril de 1816, a sus veintiocho años, Lord Byron abandonó definitivamente Inglaterra. Con él partió su médico y secretario personal, el doctor John William Polidori. Después de viajar por Bélgica y visitar el campo de batalla de Waterloo, Byron llegó a Ginebra y alquiló allí la villa Diodati, a orillas del lago Leman. Dos años antes, en 1814, Percy Bysse Shelley había huido a su vez de Inglaterra y también de su mujer. Lo acompañaban su amante, Mary Godwin y la hermanastra de esta, Jane Clairemont, conocida como Claire, que más tarde se convertiría en amante de Lord Byron. Aquel verano de 1816, cuando Byron se instaló en Ginebra, se reunieron con él Shelley, Mary y Claire y los lazos entre aquella pequeña colonia inglesa se estrecharon a diario con visitas, excursiones y paseos en barca. Fue Byron quien propuso a su grupo de amigos que cada uno de ellos escribiera un relato de fantasmas como los que leían y tanto el matrimonio Shelley como el doctor Polidori aceptaron el reto. Los cuatro cuentos de terror que reúne este volumen evocan la célebre reunión de Byron, su médico y los Shelley. El relato que escribió Mary Shelley, El sueño , dio origen al mito de Frankenstein. J. W. Polidori escribió El vampiro ; P. B. Shelley, Los asesinos y Lord Byron, El entierro . John William Polidori (Gran Bretaña, 1795-1821). Se licenció en medicina con 19 años por la Universidad de Edinburgo y un año después empezó a trabajar como médico personal de Lord Byron. En 1821 se suicidó superado por sus deudas vinculadas con el juego y por una depresión. Percy Bysshe Shelley (Gran Bretaña, 1792-1822). En 1810 ingresó en la prestigioso Colegio Universitario de Oxford de donde le expulsaron al cabo de un año por publicar un panfleto titulado "La necesidad del ateismo". En Irlanda conoció a Mary Godwin Wollstonecraft, radical e idealista como él. Junto con la hermana de Mary, Jane, partieron los tres hacia Suiza en 1814 donde al cabo de unos años conocieron a Lord Byron y Polidori. Falleció ahogado durante una travesía y su mujer publicó póstumamente sus poemas, entre los que destaca Ozymandias , Oda al viento del Oeste , A una alondra y La máscara de Anarquía . Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Gran Bretaña, 1797 - 1851) hija del filósofo británico William Godwin y de la escritora y feminista Mary Wollstonecraft. Conoció al joven poeta Percy Bysshe Shelley en mayo de 1814 y dos meses más tarde abandonó Inglaterra con él. En 1818 Mary publicó la primera y más importante de sus obras, la novela Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo . Esta obra, un logro más que notable para una autora de sólo 20 años, se convirtió de inmediato en un éxito de crítica y público. Lord Byron (Londres, 1788-Missolonghi, Grecia, 1824) es uno de los poetas románticos más destacados junto a John Keats y Percy Shelley. A los dieciocho años publicó su primer libro de poemas, Horas de ocio. En Suiza convivió con el poeta Shelley y mantuvo relaciones con Claire Clairmont. En 1819 inició su famoso Don Juan , considerada por muchos como su mejor obra. Más tarde, junto a los poetas Shelley y Leigh Hunt, fundó la revista The Liberal , cuya publicación se interrumpió enseguida debido a la muerte de Shelley y a una disputa con Hunt. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
