Octavo original green cloth gilt lettering on spine and front cover xxiv 262 pp. frontispiece illustrated endpapers 15 black-and-white plates of photographs and one diagram. Closed tear affects the front free endpaper cloth a little flecked overall a very good copy. William Mitchell was an innovative and highly outspoken pioneer US military aviator. His father was a US Senator and his grandfather was a distinguished officer in the US Civil War. As a young military officer Mitchell served and fought wars in the Philippines and insurrections along the Mexican border and introduced radio and automobile equipment into the US Army as early as 1914. In June 1916 he took private flying lessons at the Curtiss Flying School because he was proscribed by law from military aviator training due to his age and rank. As the youngest member of the US War Department General Staff Mitchell became an advocate of an independent air force.</p> <p>During World War One Mitchell became Chief of the Air Service. After the war his theories regarding the coming age of air power proved disturbing to many people but were proved in 1921 with the sinking of the ex-German battleship Ostfriesland off the Virginia Capes through the use of aircraft. He was court-martialled in 1925 for speaking against the army for investing in battleships instead of aircraft carriers and resigned in 1926. Following these famous events Mitchell continued writing and speaking out on aviation matters until his death in 1936. All of his writings are important as a predictor of the successful use of airpower in World War II. G. P. Putnam's Sons unknown

"GWTW is an indelible portrait of a unique time and place American's greatest political and moral conflict and the myths that surround it -- an all absorbing spectacle of a read even for postmodern readers. Mitchell vividly portrays the disillusionment and devastation of war the ignorance of the uninitiated and the transformation of arrogance into tenacity that shaped the first "new South." All the details of history and place come together as a rich backdrop for those unforgettable characters: shallow and selfish Scarlett sincere Melanie moony-eyed Ashley and the sage pragmatic dashing and rakish Rhett Butler--the most enduring heartthrob of American literature has produced. A monumental classic considered by many to be not only the greatest love story ever written but also the greatest Civil War saga. Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind is the bestselling novel of all time and her unforgettable characters have become American icons. One of the most important books in American literary history Mitchell's Civil War epic was a huge success when published winning the Pulitzer prize for fiction. It's international renown was further enhanced by the film version starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. very good JUNE PRINTING HARDCOVER no other months listedWITH NO MARKS AND NICE CLEAN COVER WITH 1936 JACKET WITH it's PRICE WITH REVIEWS ON BACK PANEL.
