Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. A very good copy of the apparent first hard cover edition (no explicit edition or printing statement), lacking a dust-jacket. Previous owner's modest stamp to front endpaper, with "v. 54" written on the base of the spine (see scan), as to indicate placement in a private library. The text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the green cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine is bright and fresh in appearance. A bit of spotting to the page edge, margin side, of the volume: unobtrusive, and not visible as the pages are read. The paper of the rear endpaper at the gutter is minorly cracked, but the webbing below is intact, and the binding is in no way loose, nor is the rear board wobbly. All in all a lovely copy of this increasingly hard-to-find report.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a naval aviator in the Pacific Theater of World War II, Commander James L. Brown, Jr., flew F6F-5N Hellcats on dangerous missions and very narrowly escaped death multiple times. After World War II, he flew the F8F Bearcat as a reserve officer before being called up for active duty in Korea, where he flew the F4U Corsair on night attack "heckler" missions. In this memoir, Brown vividly recalls all of the times that he probably should have died, saved by his skills as a highly trained aviator, pure luck, or, as he sometimes guessed, because there must have been an angel riding in the cockpit with him. Throughout, he is brutally honest with his emotions and his mindset when presented with the everyday life of living with war. This item is printed on demand.
