COURAGE ALONE: THE ITALIAN AIR FORCE 1940-1943
Published by Hikoki Publications. 1st. 1998
Slightly better than very good condition in a 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.
Shelf wear to top & tail of spine. Text block lightly browned. Contents otherwise clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is edge-rubbed, slightly faded to spine and has a small chip from middle of rear spine edge.
