BOEING B-17 FORTRESS IN RAF COASTAL COMMAND SERVICE

by Robert M. Stitt

Published by Stratus. 1st. 2010

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The iconic Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" is acclaimed as a heavy bomber with the USAAF, but here is the almost unknown story of its operations with RAF Coastal Command. Large format. Pictorial card wraps. B/w photos. 248 pages including index.

Rear panel of dustwrapper is very lightly scuffed. A lovely copy!
