Descripción

In hardback with dust jacket in removable mylar cover. Owners sig on fep Illustrated with photographs Flying Years A British Airman Overseas Tour By c. H. KEITH With many illustrations and maps This book offers an intimate insight into the post-war life in the Royal Air Force overseas. It is a running account of work and play, which is typical of our air- men during their service abroad. The reader will journey from Alexandria to Delhi; amidst the wild mountains of Kurdistan; across the little known Oman peninsula and here and there, along the inhospitable coast of the Persian Gulf, using nearly every type of transport in these travels. In the comfort of his armchair he may share the thrills, joys, anxieties and discomforts which all go to make up this varied and interesting life. Here is a ?rst hand account, written with easy sincerity, which should not only prove interesting, amusing and sometimes tragic, but also bring home to the lay reader the great work which is daily being carried out under the policy of Air Control as a means of spreading modern civilization. The author may be accused of excessive introspection, but his intimate record of his feelings and reactions renders the narrative refreshing and helps to convey a true appreciation of the conditions under which he lived. Although outside the purpose of the author, this book should have considerable recruit ing value amongst the youth of our day. i This Aviation Book Club edition is not for sale to the general public.
