Description

8vo., First and Sole Edition, with numerous photographs in the text, small signature on front wrapper; original photographic wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, covers very lightly age-soiled and with one short teat at margin of front wrapper else a very good, clean copy. In 1942 the National Savings Committees for Dorset united in a drive to replace by war savings the cruiser 'Dorsetshire'; £3,000,000 was raised in just over six months. Subsequently the Dorset Wings for Victory campaign set out to achieve a similar success for the RAF. Creasey was nominated co-Hon. Publicity Secretary (from his address at 'Cattistock', Fernlea Avenue, Ferndown, Wimborne, Dorset) together with T.F.E. Jakeman of Weymouth. The pamphlet is sub-titled 'Vivid true Stories of epic Flights by the RAF'. A fragile item and a rare survival.
