A propos de cet article

Publication: London, The Cresset Press, 1941 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xi], 301. Condition Report: Good. This wartime volume presents in its publisher's original beige cloth binding, lacking the dust wrapper. The boards exhibit moderate overall wear, characterised by discernible grubbiness and several notable foxing or moisture stains, most prominently affecting the lower rear board. The red stamped lettering and horizontal banding to the spine remain entirely legible, though they show mild fading. The spine itself is slightly sunned, while the extremities, particularly the spine tips and corners, are gently bumped and rubbed from shelf use. Internally, the text block remains sound and securely bound, with the page edges showing expected age-related tanning. Overall, it is a structurally solid but cosmetically worn example of a fragile wartime production. Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of H.G.’s (Hubert Griffith’s) firsthand account of the Royal Air Force, published by The Cresset Press in 1941. Printed during the height of the Second World War by the Shenval Press, the book adheres to standard wartime economy production, which accounts for the typical toning of the paper stock. Unillustrated and securely bound in its primary binding, this copy remains free from any notable provenance, bookplates, or major internal markings. While copies of this work do occasionally surface on the open market, they are relatively scarce today, particularly as early wartime editions are often lost to time or heavy handling. Penned under the pseudonym H.G. (Hubert Griffith), R.A.F. Occasions offers an intimate and authentic glimpse into the operations, philosophy, and daily realities of the Royal Air Force during the early, tumultuous years of the Second World War. Moving seamlessly from the peace-time years into the heart of the conflict, Griffith provides vivid accounts of Coastal Command, the Retreat from Cambrai, and the intensive training of new recruits and bomber boys. It is a compelling record of personal contacts and wartime impressions, capturing the resilience and spirit of British airmen defending the skies.…
