Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 364pp. This book covers the events of the Spanish Civil War from the point of view of the Germans, and particularly the Luftwaffe. It includes much detail of the ground fighting as well as activity in the air. The Condor Legion was originally formed to transport troops for the Nationalists from North Africa but soon became fully engaged as air support and as a bombing force. The whole war is covered in detail, describing the events leading up to the German involvement, and the aircraft available, as well as the operations undertaken by the Legion. This publication is of a unique source document, which was obtained from the US Air Force archives. It is reprinted exactly as the original with the exception that the pages have been slightly reduced in size (the original is on foolscap) and renumbered because the original numbering system was extremely confusing. Very scarce.
Ex-library copy with the usual stamps and markings. Interior pages clean and unmarked; tight binding., lightly bumped and curled corners. 224 pages with maps showing bird distribution, color photos. Contents include: Vultures, Kites, Harriers, Accipiters, Buteos and Allies.

DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. PERFETTO, INTONSO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DE TEMPO. Jack Mason, il simpatico ex Marine che ci narra la storia, non ha un'idea molto chiara dell'esistenzialismo; ma, da come gliel'ha spiegato Daniel James Donnely - la mente superiore cui si deve il Piano che li renderà multimilionari - bisogna pensare a uno stagno tranquillo in cui qualcuno butti un sassolino. Il sassolino genera crespe e onde che si propagano per un bel pezzo. E di sassolini in questa vicenda non ne mancano. C'è il sassolino che in duce Jack a compiere un atto eroico che sarà all'origine di tutti gli avvenimenti successivi. C'è il sasso della rapina alla banca. C'è quello lanciato nel cuore di Jack da Meredith, una affascinante ragazza di colore. E ce ne sono tanti altri che provocano le incursioni dei Tom Toms - una banda di negri squinternati, le manovre finanziarie di Rosale e Valentine - due loschi «pezzi da novanta» che rappresentano il mondo del capitale e quello del lavoro, gli interventi di Wally Kearns - boss del Sindacato del crimine che può permettersi di usare un penitenziario come sicuro rifugio in casi di emergenza. Il Gruppo che realizza il Piano è composto da otto persone selezionate con cura da Donnely in base alle loro capacità: l'attore Reginald, lo scienziato pazzo Alfred, l'esperto in congegni elettrici Larry, il bulletto di periferia Raoul, il Professore, giurista di vaglia, e la suddetta Meredith, fotografa, oltre a Donnely e a Jack («naturalmente», come dice sempre lui). E quale è lo scopo del Piano? Fare quattrini, che produrranno quattrini, che produrranno quattrini.
