hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: Keston, Independent Books, 1993 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 298. Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding is remarkably tight and squarely set, with sharp corners and unbumped boards that firmly justify this high grade. The black cloth remains notably clean and unfaded, while the silver gilt lettering to the spine is bright and entirely unoxidised. Internally, the text block is superb; the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free of foxing, thumbing, or previous ownership inscriptions, reflecting minimal to no reading wear. The dust jacket is similarly exceptional, remaining unclipped and retaining its vibrant colours without any fading or loss, exhibiting only the most trivial, barely perceptible hints of shelf-wear along the upper extremities. A handsome, highly well-preserved copy. Catalogue Note: First Edition. This volume features a striking dust jacket illustration by aviation artist John Larder, prominently depicting a Halifax bomber illuminated by searchlights. The rear panel of the jacket creatively reproduces a 'MOST SECRET' operational report from 138 Squadron regarding Operation 'Peter-5'. While standard copies are occasionally found on the secondary market, this title remains relatively uncommon in such a crisp, collector-grade state. It represents a highly desirable acquisition for enthusiasts of RAF history and Special Operations Executive (SOE) narratives. Peter Five offers a meticulously researched and engaging account of Freddie Clarkâs extensive RAF career during the Second World War. From his initial training in South Africa to the frustrations and triumphs of flying modified Halifax bombers on top-secret Special Operations Executive (SOE) missions over occupied Europe, Clark delivers a gripping firsthand narrative. Furthermore, the book intertwines his own wartime experiences with the Great War history of his relative, Bert Stanley, an RFC air mechanic and pilot. By contrasting these generational accounts of aerial combat and tracing the evolution of pilot training across seventy-five years, Clark has constructed a comprehensive and compelling treatise on military aviation that serves as both a vital historical record and a vivid memory jogger for those who were there.
