STEEPLE MORDEN STRAFERS 1943-45

by Ken Wells

Published by Egon Publishers. 1st. 1994

Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A remarkable story of courage and dedicaton, with many individual combat reports, the stories of escape and evasion also show the courage of Resistance fighters who helped downed airmen. A fascinating social documentary on the impact of war on a handful of tiny rural viallages, their inhabitants and of a lifestyle which has now almost vanished. Blue boards, gilt title to spine. B/w and colour photos. Fold out site plan of Steeple Morden at rear.

Slight bumping to spine. Dustwrapper is just a little creased at top and tail of wrapper.
