174pp plus two sections of black and white illustrations. In blue cloth boards (boards are strong, square and sharp, just a little faded at edges). Internally pages slightly creamy, else neat, clean and tight. In its original illustrated dust jacket (slightly rubbed on edges, single thin pen mark on recto). A comprehensive all-round analysis which serves as a worthy tribute to a supremely gallant band of airmen and pilots who played a vital part in restoring liberty and democracy to the continent of Europe during the second world war.
