When Dragons Flew. An Illustrated History of the 1st Battalion The Border Regiment 1939-1945. THE ORIGINAL EDITION IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
Roy. 4to., First Edition, with illustrated title, 4 full-page coloured maps and very numerous monochrome photographs in the text; cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped, unevenly sunned dustwrapper. Splendid pictorial history based on a huge compilation of photographs from public and private records. As one would expect, about half the book is given over to the battalion's role in Operation MARKET. Includes battalion ROH, honours and awards, battalion roll for Arnhem, operation orders for MARKET and much other data. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Sutcliffe, p.293.
