8vo., First Edition, with numerous plates and maps, top and fore-edge very lightly spotted; grey cloth, backstrip letterd in black, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. With relevant cuttings loosely inserted including a typescript 'Appendix 3' providing an OOB and ROH of RAF Transport Command. Published to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary, this is the finest overall treatment of the airborne battle (Operation MARKET). It is Middlebrook at his best, painstakingly combining many valuable vernacular accounts with a characteristically well-researched view of the background. Note that it does not cover the ground forces making their way towards Arnhem (Operation GARDEN). A beautiful copy of a superb tribute. Seller Inventory # 48192
