First Edition. First Edition. octavo, grey cloth in dust jacket. 340 pp. Doubleday, Doran, "This young Englishman's vivid and sensitive story of his experiences in Loyalist Spain is an honest record of what war does to a man, rather than a man's record of a war." From the Kirkus Review, "An English pilot tells of his experiences with the Loyalists in Spain, his years in that war-torn country, on the ground and in the air. Madrid -- San Janvier -- Albaoete -- Manises -- near death many times. It is more than daredevil flying. There is a brief romantic interlude, with a tragic ending. There is imprisonment and release. Surface adventure and spiritual and emotional reactions." 1/2" x 1/2" chip at top of front flap fold. Very minor scuffing to top and bottom of jacket spine.
