Risher combat crew flew its thirty-two bombing mission schedule as members of the 401st Bombardment Group based at Deenthope, England."--Foreword ; Contents: Images -- Missions flown (1944) -- Joining -- The first five -- Combat crew -- D-Day and after -- Lead crew -- Incidental things -- One day's work -- Between times-- Men and planes -- Ground support -- The last five -- Aftermath ; Within the colossal stage of the Second War, millions of human destinies were inexplicably intertwined and eventually led to the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Author James F. Risher, Jr. gives an inside glimpse of warfare through his book, Particles In A Stream D-Day And After, published posthumously by his sons, James F. Risher III and Joseph K. Risher. This significant and fast moving personal account reveals Risher's experiences in the United States Strategic bombing campaign as a member of the Eight U.S. Army Air Force in the European theatre of World War II. This book is more than a combat history--it is a story of impressions and feelings about the stresses upon human beings associated with this form of combat, as they become part of a cohesive aerial combat crew. It tells how men depended on each other to survive combat missions. It reveals the response of individuals to the growing, repeated stress of aerial warfare in a high altitude (4 to 6 miles), sub-zero frigid environment; perform precise technical tasks in confined, unheated spaces, with life maintained by an oxygen tube. Interwoven with feelings of creeping anticipation, dread, panic, and often boredom of high altitude warfare, Particles In A Stream D-Day And After also presents the humorous side of combat flying and everyday life on the bomber bases in England. The men often relied on humor as the tonic for stress and fatigue. The "particles in a stream" in the title refers to WWII as the war of "small teams"--men of other military branches who no doubt felt the same way the longer they fought together. ; SIGNED by James F. Richer III on half-title ; FINE. Signed by Author(s). Book.

Mid-twentieth century half calf for Henry Sotheran, five raised bands, gilt decorated compartments and titles on red morocco labels to the spine. Brown cloth boards. Ownership initials of Richard Kayne in gilt to the bottom right corner of the upper board. Top edge gilt. Marbled endpapers. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some rubbing to the spine hinges and corners. The contents, with the bookplate of Richard Kayne to the front pastedown, and four pages of additional dialogue in the form of carbon-copy typescript (annotated in the hand of Wells), are clean throughout. The Man Who Could Work Miracles is inscribed by the author in black ink on the half title "for Philip Charlot / H. G. Wells / April 1936". The recipient was the film editor on the 1937 Lothar Mendes production starring Ralph Richardson, Joan Gardner and Roland Young. Underneath Wells' inscription Charlot has later inscribed "for Richard Kayne / with very best wishes / Philip Charlot / October 1956". The page preceding the half title of the second title 'Things to Come' is further inscribed by Charlot "Sorry, Richard, but H.G. forgot to sign this one for me - Philip". The recipient of Charlot's presentation is the writer, composer and musician Richard Kayne (pseudonym of William Sydney Kuttner), who is perhaps best remembered for composing the haunting theme from the 1959 Horror film 'House On Haunted Hill' (starring Vincent Price).
