ISBN 10: 0208014373 ISBN 13: 9780208014375
Used Hardcover First Edition

Seller: Rare Aviation Books, Millers Point, NSW, Australia

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars 5-star rating, Learn more about seller ratings

Octavo, illustrated, 286 pp. A fine copy in dust jacket. Jean Beraud Villars (1893-1979) was born near Paris and educated in France, England, and Germany. An infantry volunteer in 1915, he was wounded several times before transferring to aviation at the beginning of 1916. He eventually was commander of a French escadrille before a serious wound ended his military flying. After the war, he was a successful businessman, and writer, including of a biography of Lawrence of Arabia. Originally published under the nom de guerre 'Lieutenant Marc' in 1998 with the French title Notes d'un pilote disparu, the real author was identified in the 1970s as Villars. The book was so critical of the French military and manufacturers, who he alleged supplied inferior aircraft, that Villars could not publish the book under his own name. This is the translated book with notes, complete with the missing text published in 1975 by the translators Stanley Pincetl and Ernest Marchand under the translated title Notes of a Lost Pilot. An important book with a interesting 50+ year history. Seller Inventory # 56
