Descripción del artículo del vendedor

World War II required the United Nations to prepare for the threatened invasion of the American continent by the Axis Powers. Careful study indicated the Nazi timing of this invasion was the early winter of 1941-42. So confident in this plan were the Nazi Storm Troopers that German prisoners of war, landing at a port in the St. Lawrence from England in 1940, were convinced they would soon be released by air-borne troops and armed again to assist in the plan of Nazi invasion. The George McNamara Construction Company of Toronto was awarded the contract for building the airport at Goose Bay, Labrador, and Mr. William Durrell (to whom this book is dedicated) was appointed General Superintendant of construction.- Paraphrased from Chapter 1. Carr [1895-1959] was appointed Senior Naval Officer at Goose Bay in June 1943. Here he recounts his fascinating experiences there, concluding with his reflections on the war and the nature of man. Appendix provides a partial list of the mountain of equipment brought in by ship or plane to construct this mammoth project. [12], 304 pages. 21.3 x 14 cm. Reprint of the 1944 first edition. Seventeen pages of black and white photographic plates. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's blue cloth. Binding intact. Prior owner's name, Maj. W.A. Randall, penned atop front free endpaper. Dust jacket not included. Carr, who served in both world wars, would later pen Pawns in the Game and The Red Fog Over America, which sold by the hundreds of thousands. A sound copy of this fascinating and relatively unknown WWII history.
