Paperback. Condition: New. Michael Gill is widely regarded as being one of the finest documentary film-makers of the twentieth century. Working as a junior reporter, he experienced the Second World War at first hand when he and his family were bombed out of their Canterbury home in June 1942. In August that year Michael joined the RAF and swiftly encountered the incomprehensible pettiness and rule-bound incongruities of service life.Later commissioned into the RAF Intelligence Branch, he was attached to a tactical bomber squadron in the build-up to D-Day and flew as an observer on operations over the devastated Normandy countryside. As the war moved towards its awful conclusion, Michael journeyed to Holland and on into Germany with his unit, witnessing the final days of the war and its pathetic aftermath for ordinary Germans.This beautifully observed memoir of the Second World War is head and shoulders above the many other accounts by those who did not fight the war 'at the sharp end', by virtue of Michael Gill's skilfully crafted narrative and believable characterisation of the people that inhabit its pages.…

Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. Growing Into War. Foreword by A. A. Gill. Michael Gill is widely regarded as being one of the finest documentary film-makers of the twentieth century, but this unremarkably middle-class upbringing in the years following the First World War, here vividly evoked, gave little inkling of the great creative genius that was to blossom in adulthood. Bovine tuberculosis, contracted in childhood, left him an invalid for five years and with intermittently poor health thereafter. As a young teenager Michael observed Europe's descent into the tragedy of the Second World War. Evacuated to the north of England, the Gill family returned to Kent in 1941, only to be bombed out of their Canterbury home the following June. Although desperate to join the Royal Air Force, Michael was too young to apply, and his entry was deferred for six months, during which time he worked as a junior reporter on the Kentish Gazette. In August 1942 Michael finally joined the RAF and completed his basic training in a brutal world of 'blanco and bullshit', as far removed from his gentle and cosseted home life as it was possible to get. His first posting was to Northern Ireland as an operations room plotter. Commissioned in August 1943, he joined the RAF Intelligence Branch and weas attached to a tactical bomber squadron in the build-up to D-Day. He finally realised his ambition to share the dangers of the aircrew when he flew on some of their operations over the war-torn countryside of Normandy in the summer of 1944. As the was moved towards its awful conclusion, Michael journeyed to Holland and on into Germany with his unit, witnessing the final days of the conflict and its pathetic aftermath for ordinary Germans. Illustrated. 308 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature).…
