Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Canadians in the Royal Air Force; by Les Allison; 1978; published by LES ALLISON; Roland, Manitoba, printed by Friesen Printers, Altona, Man. A signed, presentation copy. From the blurb This is a list of Biographies of some 2,000 Canadians who joined the R. A. F. main…ly before WW II. It also contains 35 short stories of those from the Air Force who were involved in flying and combat which may be described as heroic, tragic, bizarre, and controversial. The accomplishments of this small group were many times greater than any other similar company. They suffered 50% casualties but earned over 600 decorations. Their contribution to the cause in the first year of the war, when numbers of trained men were so scarce, has never before been assessed. Certainly the Battle of Britain could have been lost without their help. The 126 Canadians who flew Hurricanes and Spitfires in Fighter Command during this four-month critical battle may well have turned a possible defeat into a British Victory. Those many hundreds of Canadians who flew bombers with Bomber and Coastal Command, were in constant action against enemy targets in this same period. They suffered even higher casualties mainlt because they had to raid enemy airfields, invasion barges and military targets, plus even Berlin, quite often in daylight. And they had no fighter protection because every fighter was desperately needed in Britain. This large format book, 216 pages plus Register of Home Towns, measures 278mm X 210mm is in fine condition in a very-good dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. This large volume may require additional postage. Inscribed by Author(s).
