First Edition
Softcover. Condition: very good condition. First Edition - - Bill Olmsted joined the air force in 1940 after completing his second year at Hamilton's McMaster University. Two years later he was flying Spitfires over occupied territory. Before war's end he would fly more than 500 sorties, covering more countries and invasions than any other Canadian pilot. He became the only member of 242 Squadron to receive the Distinguished Service Order, and was also awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar. - In Blue Skies Olmsted recounts hair-raising dogfights with German Me 109s and FockeWulf 190s and describes the amazing escapades of his fellow pilots, among them Group Captain "Dutch" Hugo; Wing Commanders Johnny Johnson, Colin Gray and "Razz" Berry; and Squadron Leaders Dal Rüssel, "Duke" Arthur and "Hap" Kennedy. - Olmsted also describes the role of air power in the battle for Tunisia and Europe and the invasions of Sicily and Italy. Blue Skies is the gripping story of one of Canada's most decorated fighter pilots - - a story that ranks among the world's best - war memoirs. 262 p. photos.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. In hardback Illustrated with photographs l have always wanted to call my book Blue Skies. The blue of the African sky, and the blue of the Mediterranean Sea, and the blue of the (sky after you leave a grey-clouded airdrome to pierce the clouds and arrive in brilliant sunshine these are still fresh memories, but perhaps something only a pilot can truly appreciate. As a Canadian fighter pilot, l am told I am among the top dozen most decorated pilots and among the top halt-dozen with the most operational flying hours. My experiences were largely ob- tained in foreign lands operating within a few miles of the enemy - l took part in three in- vasions; Sicily, ltaly and Normandy ? living al- most exclusively in tents, always flying the renowned Spit?re. l am also informed that few, it any, Canadians tlew over as many countries as me, or actively covered as many invasions. While overseas l kept a very comprehensive diary, and this information along with the 300 letters I sent Mother, which she saved, provides details and information which are rather unique. l have tried to incorporate many aspects not previously recorded in print. l hope my story wiil find interest among living Canadian fighter pilots, and their families, and among a whole new generation of younger people who want to know what the war fought in the air was like.
