Condición: New. Hardback 194 pages with 18 colour / 52 black-and-white photograpsPublished Price £30 Spitfire Across the Atlantic tells the remarkable story of Flight Lieutenant James Elwyn Storey, the Anglo-Argentine RAF reconnaissance pilot who flew a Spitfire PR XI 1,800 miles across the South Atlantic in a record-breaking flight.Storey trained as a pilot in Africa before serving with RAF Nos. 542, 543 and 519 Squadrons during the Second World War. Flying unarmed, high-altitude photographic-reconnaissance aircraft, he undertook demanding missions over occupied Europe, gathering intelligence on German military activity. Among his assignments were sorties over V-1 flying-bomb sites in the Calais-Abbeville area as part of the Allied 'Crossbow' programme.After the war, with limited prospects for aviation employment in Britain, Storey decided to return to Argentina and establish an aerial photography business. He purchased a surplus Spitfire PR XI from the Ministry of Supply's Aircraft Disposal Department and, rather than ship the aircraft across the Atlantic, resolved to fly it home.Assisted with navigation by a British South American Airways Lancastrian, Storey completed the formidable 1,800-mile South Atlantic crossing in eight hours and forty minutes, establishing what was then the longest single flight ever made by a Spitfire.Drawing upon original archival documentation, first-hand accounts and previously unpublished photographs, Ricardo Martin Lezon's 2024 study traces Storey's career from wartime reconnaissance over Europe to his exceptional transatlantic achievement, combining RAF operational history with the story of a pilot who pushed the celebrated Spitfire far beyond its conventional operational limits.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. On the morning of 24 December 1943, 542 Squadron's intelligence officer briefed Flt Lt J. Storey on covering Crossbow sites in the Calais-Abbeville areas. He was airborne at 11 a.m. and set course in his Spitfire for the French coast, passing over London at 15,000 feet. The weather was perfect over the Channel, so he levelled off and 'harried' to Dunkirk and then set course to Abbeville. Some 50 miles before reaching the objective, noisy oscillations in his earphones gave warning that the German anti-aircraft battery caught the intruder aircraft in the radar beam they used to direct fire. Occasionally, he rolled the Spitfire up on her side to check beneath him. To conserve fuel, he began a gradual climb up through 40,000 feet and levelled off at 41,500 feet. Over the objective, he lined up the aircraft and began his runs. He took photos of everything on his list of objectives. Unmolested by flak, he spent as much time over the objective as possible and then turned home. As he was flying over the North Sea, he was unaware that a special trip was waiting for him in a not so far future. This is the story of former PR pilot Flight Lieutenant James Elwyn Storey and his epic flight across the Atlantic Ocean in Spitfire PR XI LV-NMZ. Starting with his operations in North East Africa, he moves on to cover his daring PR sorties over occupied Europe and Met Flights over the North Sea. This work also covers the preparation for his flight. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La descarnada y emotiva autobiografía de Ricardo Lezón, líder de la icónica banda McEnroe . En aquel tiempo, pese a vivir una vida ordenada, todo estaba desordenado en mí, tanto como las frases incomprensibles que escribía y que en su fondo guardaban ese desconcierto de quien no encaja ni sabe dónde encajar. La extraña armonía que desprenden es la de un hombre perdido que sabe que siempre lo estará. Resistir a la tristeza aun dudando de si el corazón batido volverá a latir como antes. Seguir a flote gracias al salvavidas de la música, refugio al que acudir y donde guarecerse cuando fuera todo se tambalea. O para conseguir que todo se tambalee. Dejar que te arrase el gozo que provoca un nuevo amor, una nueva canción, con la seguridad de que no hay otro camino. Desarmarse siempre ante lo natural. Esta es la autobiografía de Ricardo Lezón, líder de la icónica banda McEnroe, que cumple veinte años de vida, con más de siete álbumes publicados y cientos de miles de kilómetros de carretera y escenario. La de McEnroe es la historia de un éxito extraño, de veinte años dedicándose a la música sin convertirla nunca en un trabajo, dejando crecer siempre la semilla de lo espontaneo, con la confianza de sus propios pasos. En este libro, narrado con mucha pluma y sensibilidad, Ricardo Lezón baja al suelo el mito del rock and roll. Un libro muy sincero escrito por el autor de algunas de las mejores canciones del indie español. Lento y salvaje es el relato de un hombre construyendo su paisaje. La historia sencilla de alguien que camina a través de la ansiedad, la tristeza, la esperanza y la alegría con el paso frágil pero terco de quien encuentra el sentido y la paz en la belleza. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
