About this copy
This is the First Pocket Books hardcover printing (June 1991), as stated on the copyright page, with a full number line ending in 1. This oral history collection brings together twenty-seven American fighter pilots recounting their combat experiences from World War I through Vietnam, edited by WWII Marine ace Joe Foss and Vietnam veteran/author Matthew Brennan. The book is presented in its original dust jacket, printed with a cover price of $21.95 US / $27.95 CAN and not price-clipped.
Loosely laid into the book is a black-and-white photograph of Joe Foss in uniform bearing an inscription and signature, along with a separately signed 1975 Belgian postal cover referencing Foss's WWII squadron VMF-121. These items are included as found with the book but are not attached to it, and their authenticity has not been independently verified.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – boards and text block appear clean and sound in photographs.
