COURAGE ALONE: THE ITALIAN AIR FORCE 1940-1943
Published by Hikoki Publications. 1st. 1998
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Derided by Allied propaganda which made it out to be an air force equipped solely with elderly biplanes, ineffectual in attack or always in retreat, the Regia Aeronautica was overshadowed by its mor ruthless Axis partner, the Luftwaffe. The author takes an objective view and shows that the men who flew th Macchis, Fiats and Savoias were no less skilled or determined than their opponents. Far too often, all the Italian airmen had that could match their opponents was courage alone. Large format. B/w photos. Colour illustrations.
Top & tail of spine lightly shelf-worn. Couple of minor knocks to lower edge of boards. Couple of minor marks to contents else clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased, scuffed and has a small ink mark to front panel.
