EACH TENACIOUS: THE HISTORY OF NO 99 (MADRAS PRESIDENCY) SQUADRON
Written by A.G. Edgerley.
Stock no. 1829741
Published by Square One Publications. 1st 1993. Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.

This book is much more than a historical account of a mixture of men and machines. It captures the flavour of the passing eras: from the 'string bag' adventures of the First World War with its amazing tales of sheer bravado; through the '20s and '30s and an atmosphere of uneasy peace; building up with an awareness fo the rise of Hitler's Germany to a powerful striking force ready and able to come to the assistance of its country. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 319 pages plus index. ISBN: 1872017673. Pictorial dustwrapper has a minor mark to front panel and some light scuffing. Else a lovely copy.
