Hardback. Condición: New. In her vivid memoir For the Duration, Ashbee givves a candid, often humorous account of her experiences during World War II as she rose through the ranks in Britain's Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). Joining shortly after the outbreak of the war in 1939, Ashbee began in the nerve center of the Royal Air Force's (RAF's) battle with the enemy, soon advanced to the intelligence department, and later served as an administrator at various RAF stations. She relates how she and other WAAFs coped with a war machine that desperately needed the help of women but whose all-male leadership did not quite know how to manage the sudden influx of females.Throughout her lively narrative she limns the impact of war on individuals and families from all classes and walks of life, both in and out of the military. As a radar teller, she tracked Rudolph Hess as he flew across the North Sea. As a writer and producer of original ""shows"" in her offduty hours, she brought forth amateur theatricals at several RAF stations, dispelling much of the incredible monotony and boredom of duty in remote outposts. Ashbee's vitality infuses this memoir as it moves from the ""phony"" war and the Battle of Britain, to intelligence and duties as an officer to, at last, the victory celebrations in London.

Hardcover. Condición: Like New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Dust jacket condition: Near Fine. Of great importance to scholars, collectors, dealers, and others interested in the history of ceramics, the decorative arts, and industrial culture, Syracuse China examines the birth, growth, and remarkable resilience over more than a century of one of America's major manufacturers of ceramic tableware. Drawing on the company's archives and historical collection of ware, the authors explore not only the history of its products but also the people who designed, made, decorated, sold, and used them. Syracuse China was the pioneer manufacturer of a distinctively American type of vitrified fine china, as well as the first American "rolled edge" shapes which revolutionized hotel and restaurant dining. The company was also a great leader in labor relations and marketing within its industry. Cleota Reed and Stan Skoczen's lively account of this fascinating chapter in the history of American material culture spans the Victorian age to the present. Collectors and enthusiasts will find the following features invaluable: -- 30 color plates -- 128 black-and-white photographs -- A comprehensive visual listing of Syracuse China's back stamps -- An appendix that enables the reader to identify Syracuse China shapes and patterns. 272 pages.
