Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. Revised Edition. THE ADVENTURES AND INVENTIONS OF STEWART BLACKER Soldier, Aviator, Weapons Inventor. Barnaby Blacker. Pen & Sword, Barnsley. 2006 First edition. ISBN 1844154319 206pp Illustrated Hardback. Described as an 'Autobiography' this fantastic story is edited from…Lt Col Blacker's diaries and journals by his grandson. His son Brian Blacker says in his foreword " my father, Stewart Blacker, was far from being an ordinary man. It would not be quite true to call him an eccentric, but when he passed his Staff College examinations, his examiners were obliged to say 'we are unable to classify this officer'. His almost pathological hatred of officialdom and what he called the 'abominable no-men of Whitehall', was only matched by his admiration for the martial races of the North-West of the Indian sub continent. Stewart Blacker was a remarkable figure. His inventions were used with significant effect both in WW1 and WW2. Most notable of these was the synchronised machine gun, attached to fighter planes that could fire through the propeller. He also designed the PIAT anti tank weapon which was used with dramatic effect during WW2, from Normandy until the end of the war. The book argues that with less obstruction from officialdom, the PIAT could have been ready at the start of the war to stop Blitzkreig in its tracks. As an aviation pioneer, flying (and crashing) planes soon after the Wright Brothers, he found himself in charge his Majesty's Air Force at the outset of WW1. Later after having seen the awful slaughter occurring in the trenches and feeling guilty he had chosen the easy option, he joined up with his old regiment and fought at Neuve Chapelle until he was injured in 1917. During the interwar years he continued to fly and develop weapons and was the first man to fly over the top of Everest. Ref A4 5. Signed by Brian Blacker.
