One Hundred and forty are reproduced here (in glossy colour) - a truly representative collection.

Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 364pp. This book covers the events of the Spanish Civil War from the point of view of the Germans, and particularly the Luftwaffe. It includes much detail of the ground fighting as well as activity in the air. The Condor Legion was originally formed to transport troops for the Nationalists from North Africa but soon became fully engaged as air support and as a bombing force. The whole war is covered in detail, describing the events leading up to the German involvement, and the aircraft available, as well as the operations undertaken by the Legion. This publication is of a unique source document, which was obtained from the US Air Force archives. It is reprinted exactly as the original with the exception that the pages have been slightly reduced in size (the original is on foolscap) and renumbered because the original numbering system was extremely confusing. Very scarce.
