THE BRISTOL BLENHEIM: A COMPLETE HISTORY

by Graham Warner

Published by Crecy. 1st. 2002

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. This book puts the impact of the Blenheim on aircraft development into perspective, and provides a very human insight into the courageous crews who flew the Blenheims into battle. Blue boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and colour illustrations of the camouflage markings. 639 pages including index.

Book sits a little 'twisted' on the shelf but is otherwise fine. Dustwrapper is very slightly edge rubbed.
