8vo., First Edition, with 32 plates on 16 and a full-page map in the text; original pictorial wrappers printed in red and black, wire-stitched as issued, a near fine copy. Known by mariners the world over as the 'Flying Angel' (from the device on its ensign), the 'Mission' made an invaluable contribution to the welfare of RN and merchant seamen during WWII. This fragile publication provides a deceptively detailed account of the 'Angel's' global effort; sadly, few copies seem to have survived, let alone in anything like this condition. Noble was C-in-C Western Approaches from February 1941 to November 1942. A rare survival.

The Foreign Missionary Society's first appointment was the Rev. C.F. (John Christian Frederick) Heyer, appointed to go to India in 1840. The Executive Committee decided to send him under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, a united Protestant group commonly known as the American Board. Although the Foreign Missionary Society intended that Heyer's work would maintain a distinct Lutheran character, the decision to use the American Board caused controversy among General Synod Lutherans. Heyer, therefore, resigned his appointment under the General Synod, going instead under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania in 1842, becoming the "first missionary sent out to the heathen world by the American Lutheran Church." In 1843 the Executive Committee was empowered to appoint and send out a missionary as soon as possible, and, if expedient, to co-operate with the Missionary Society of the Synod of Pennsylvania, and with their missionary in India. Thus the Rev. Walter Gunn was appointed as the first missionary sent out by the General Synod, to join Heyer in Guntur, India. RELIGION BOX 8
