1969-70 "The Pictorial History Of The RAF " 3-Volume Hardcover Book Set
I have for sale the out-of-print, 1st edition, 3-Volume hardcover book set "The Pictorial History Of The RAF " by John W.R. Taylor & Philip J.R. Moyes (1969-1970). Volume One 1918-1939, Volume Two 1930-1945, and Volume Three 1945-1969, contain pages of text as well as vintage black and white photographs profiling RAF Aviation from those years. Front Jacket Excerpt from Volume One: "There have been many histories of the Royal Air Force, but never one like this. The evolution and achievements of Britain's air forces are put into new perspective against a background of the changing world of our twentieth century. Not only do we learn why-as well as how-the RAF and its predeccessors gained victory in the air battles of two World Wars and countless smaller wars; we see how they blazed a trail across oceans and deserts, for the airlines to follow, played a major part in creating America's great modern aviation industry, kept the peace for two desperately dangerous decades after World War II and, simultaneously, learned how to use new kinds of aircraft to bring new life to hundreds of men, women and children who would other wise have died through sickness, shipwreck or starvation. Published to mark the 50th Anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force, on 1st April 1918, this superbly-illustrated three-volume work, of which this is the first, forms a unique, scrupulously accurate and highly readable tribute to the Service without which none of us might have been alive to read it." "The Pictorial History Of The RAF " 3-Volume Hardcover Book Set is in excellent condition. Price $70. US (3-Volume Set) plus postage Please include your "postal mailing address" so I can calculate postage costs to your destination. Thank you |
