Cloth. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First American Edition. A FINE, bright, clean, tight, crisp collector-worthy copy sans flaws. INSCRIBED, SIGNED, and DATED by the author on the front endpaper; "For ______, with all good wishes Howard M. Layton Aug. 8/2009". ILLUSTRATED in color photography and maps with accompanying descriptive captions. "As a World War II RAF flyer, the author presents his eye-witness account of inspiring acts of bravery, skill and airmanship on the part of those who flew the planes and manned the guns in the battle that led to the Allies first decisive victory of the war-the battle of El Alamein. Interwoven with all the military mayhem, he also tells the true story of his first wondrous love; of how he won her and how, throught the exigencies of war and the fecklessness of youth, he eventuall lost her. 'Love and Sand' is a story of abiding love, and the pain of love lost through lies and deceit. The longing and the anguish of those days and nights thread their way through first-hand accounts of near suicidal raids on enemy airfields, through escort patrols during the evacuation of Greece in which our own Royal Navy did its bet to shoot us out of the sky, through the carpet-bombing of Rommel's beleaguered forces in the Western Desert, and through a grueling episode in which the author's aircraft plowed its way into the tall trees of a Ugandan forest. And for history buffs, 'Love and Sand' also presents a detailed and hitherto unpublished episode in the vital, dangerous activities of the RAF Trans-Africa Aircraft Delivery Group." 323 pages.
