WITH THE CARRIERS IN KOREA: THE FLEET AIR ARM STORY 1950-1953

by John R.P. Landsdown

Published by Square One Publications. 1st. 1992

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Forty years after a war which is seen by some as a lapse of taste or good judgement, With the Carriers in Korea now presents the first true account of the part played by the Royal and Commonwealth navies in Korea. A vital reference for the survivors and families of those involved and fascinating reading for historians. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 485 pages including index.

SIGNED by the author (with personal dedication) to title page. Else contents clean. Blue pictorial dustwrapper is creased and slightly grubby.
