HURRICANES OVER BURMA

by M.C. Cotton

Published by Grub Street. 1st. 1995

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Includes: The Memoirs of Wing Commander "Bunny" Stone, DFC. This book is the definitive work of an author who kept meticulous records about a small group of men playing their role in a little-publicised but strategically important "forgotten war!. Squadron Leader Monty "Bush" Cotton was in the first group of pilot trainees to leave Australia in World War II, and gives us his account of the air war over Burma. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations and photos. 357 pages including index.

A lovely copy!
