Octavo, orange cloth, 204 pp., frontispiece, seven double-sided photo plates (7 out of 8 plates). Cloth rubbed and a bit thumbed, some spotting on preliminary pages, one leaf torn at extremities without any loss of text, one plate missing, otherwise a very good copy. An autobiography of the leading fighter ace of the Australian Flying Corps during World War I. Flying a Sopwith Camel on the Western Front with No. 4 Squadron Australian Flying Corps, Cobby was credited with 29 victories in spite of the fact that he saw active service for less than a year. His story ends between the World Wars. During the Second World War, he went on to command No. 10 Operational Group (later Australian First Tactical Air Force) but was relieved of his post in the wake of the complicated "Morotai Mutiny" of April 1945. A scarce and very readable book.
