hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

First Edition
Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: very good condition, like new. First Edition - - In the darkest days of the Second World War, Hitler's long-range Condor bombers roamed far out into the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the range of British land-based fighters. They sank Allied ships almost at will. To counter this threat to Britain's desperately needed supplies, 'expendable fighters' came into being, planes which were launched by catapult from the fore-decks of specially adapted merchant ships - to which they could not return. - The pilots - all volunteers - knew that, if they survived their encounter with the enemy, their only chance of getting back on board their convoy would be to bale out into the sea to be picked up by an escort ship. It was very rare for any pilot to be left with enough fuel to reach land. - This little known aspect of Second World War Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm operations has been thoroughly researched by Ralph Barker using log books, Royal Navy archives and personal records. His relation of the history of the Hurricats, the detail in which he describes both the characters who flew and serviced these aircraft, and many of the encounters which took place, makes for a truly gripping read. 160 p. photos.
