195671376bdAldershot: Gale & Polden Ltd. 1956. First Edition. Royal octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt letters map illus. endpapers xi 181 pp. Very Good with speckling to edges; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: In his foreword Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir John Slessor G.C.B. D.S.O. M.C. who himself as a subaltern in the Royal Flying Corps flew the first operational sortie from Hornchurch in 1915 against a Zeppelin says “The book is more than a record of the fighting tradition of a famous R.A.F. base. The Story of Hornchurch is really the story of the Air Defence of London. The names of many of the men who fought from Hornchurch are household words in the R.A.F. today such as Sailor Malan Paddy Finucane Douglas Bader Brian Kingcombe Piet Hugo and Harry Broadhurst. But the story also pays tribute to those of an earlier generation such as Tempest and Sowrey Murlis Green and Armstrong -- great men in their day and brilliant pilots all who laid the foundation of a tradition on which the Luftwaffe broke in 1940. This book traces the development of fighter tactics right from the early days of Zeppelins and Gothas through the peace-time exercises to the developments of Radar and the highly organized system of the last war. The International and Empire aspects of the pilots who flew from Hornchurch are particularly brought out. The very large number of illustrations include many which have not been published before.

1963335426glLondon: Neville Spearman 1963. Octavo navy blue boards hardcover 128 pp. Boards slightly warped; otherwise Near-Fine with neat former-owner bookplate; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: This is a true account of a series of colourful incidents in the life of a most modest and brave man. Although a great deal of the book is devoted to descriptions of episodes which took place in RAF Bomber Command it also includes such widely varying subjects as the description of an investiture at Buckingham Palace to the excitement of a long-distance reliability motor trial. The title has been chosen because it represents the motto of the famous No. 83 Pathfinder Squadron in which the author completed his extended tour of night bomber sorites in 1942 taking part in no less than sixty-six bombing raids over Occupied Europe. An unusual feature of Strike to Defend is the fact that the author describes scenes observed from the navigator’s table and from the perspex nose of the bomber. From these positions he was able to observe many dramatic incidents which took place both inside and outside the aircraft. Strike to Defend will appeal not only to those who served in the RAF but also to anyone who is interested in the technicalities of flying air navigation and motor sport.
