8vo., First Edition, with 29 plates on 12 and numerous illustrations and maps in the text; cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Moving account of convoy OG71 which sailed from Liverpool for Gibraltar in August 1941. The convoy was badly hit by U-boats resulting in the loss of several escorts and merchant vessels. Most dreadful of all was the death of twenty-two Wrens (the first such loss of the war) in the Commodore's steamer Aguila. Dustwrapper artwork and text illustrations by Tom Shuttleworth who served during the convoy abroad HMS Wallflower. It is notable that Nicholas Monsarrat, present aboard the Flower-class corvette HMS Campanula, termed this action 'my particular nightmare' and later based Lt.-Cmdr George Ericson of 'The Cruel Sea' on Captain Charles Cuthbertson, captain of HMS Zinnia. Another vividly-written account by a team with a well-deserved reputation for historical accuracy and carefully collected vernacular material.

br. "La centuria alata", uno dei maggiori successi editoriali degli anni Trenta, è un classico della letteratura aeronautica italiana. Questa edizione, che arricchisce la collana "Ala tricolore", dedicata alle grandi imprese aviatorie del primo Novecento, ripropone il racconto in prima persona di una delle avventure aeree più celebri di ogni tempo. Nelle sue pagine rivive la doppia traversata dell'Atlantico, che nel 1933 chiuse l'era dell'avventura e aprì quella dei servizi aerei regolari. In pochi giorni, cento aviatori italiani volarono da Orbetello a Chicago, raddoppiando in un sol colpo il numero di quanti avevano trasvolato l'Atlantico. Poi i 24 idrovolanti rientrarono a Roma, dopo aver coperto 20.000 chilometri in circa 100 ore di volo. Prefazione di Carlo Zorzoli.
ill., br. A partire dalla metà del XV secolo gli europei iniziarono a esplorare l'oceano Atlantico, e le nuove vie di comunicazione misero in contatto civiltà ignote e diversissime. I collegamenti marittimi tra Europa, Africa e Americhe si fondarono dapprima sul commercio degli schiavi e, in seguito, sull'estrazione dei metalli preziosi e lo scambio di merci, sull'organizzazione dei flussi migratori e di quelli mercantili, attivando, in particolare attraverso le esperienze rivoluzionarie, meccanismi di raccordo sociale e politico tra Vecchio e Nuovo Mondo. Da metà Cinquecento a metà Ottocento si consolidarono i rapporti, si moltiplicarono i fenomeni migratori e gli interessi commerciali e finanziari. Cosi, in quattro secoli, s'instaurarono quelle relazioni asimmetriche che contraddistinguono ancor oggi il mondo atlantico e che questo libro analizza gettando luce sulle nuove connessioni navali, sulle libertà di commercio e sulla nascita dei nazionalismi. Una storia dei popoli che si affacciano sull'Atlantico che amplia e rinnova la nostra visione di un'epoca cruciale, mettendo sempre in primo piano le reciproche influenze delle dinamiche economiche, sociologiche e politiche.
