Half title, illus. Orig. printed paper boards with wraparounds; Spine sl. split at head & tail, a little dulled. 72pp. The sole edition. 'Flying-Officer Hunt has tried to record the full-blooded language of fighting men - men who won the Battle of Britain, are winning many other battles and who will eventually restore peace to the world. It is a book of slang, yet I recommend it to you because it records the language of men of the three services of many countries who, to borrow a phrase from the book, are "flat out" to win.'.
