Description

8vo., Uncorrected Proof Copy; original printed wrappers, covers mildly age-soiled. Proof copies were issued without the plates found in the published edition. The truly remarkable story of a unique vessel - a largely Free French Q-ship enrolled wholesale into the Royal Navy and eventually sunk in the Atlantic in December 1942. This account is based largely on facts provided by Pat O'Leary who survived the sinking to organise the 'Pat' escape routes from France. First published in France in the preceding year. PROOF COPIES ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE. Enser, p.381; Law, 0861.
