Description

245 pages. Signed and warmly inscribed by Editor to his mentor upon title page. Copy number 254 of 550 printed in this first edition. Black and white illustrations from photos. Colour photographic plates. "Fly a daylight low level mission in the early days of the war with a pilot and navigator in a B-26 Invader, fastest USAF prop-driven light bomber of the day, as they roar down the railroad tracks toward Sinanju. Attack a locomotive at night in northwest Korea's Mig Alley. Read the short biographies of some of the men who lived and died in that long forgotten war. Read about those dedicated professionals who worked 16 to 18 hours a day to keep the airplanes flying. Be a guest of the mayor of Hiroshima six short years after the United States destroyed that city. And, most importantly, find out what it was like to be a member of an elite night intruder squadron who maintained the lonely vigil of overflying North Korea's lines of communication leading to the battle line." - from dust jacket. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A superb copy. Book
