A study of Irish booksellers, who without permission and without paying royalties, dramatically increased the circulation of British writers by selling cheap reprints in Ireland, Britain, and America. Pays considerable attention to the more than 100 Irish booksellers, including Matthew Carey and 15 others recorded in the DAB, who transferred to the American booktrade between 1750 and 1820. Appendices list Irish reprints of works by Fielding, Smollett, Stern, Johnson, Boswell, Goldsmith and Gibbon. From the preface: "The thesis of the present study is that Irish booksellers through cheap reprints disseminated the works of the major British writers of their time and augmented the audience for these writers not only in Ireland but in Britain and the United States of America. The circulation in America of Irish reprints of these writers was enhanced by the transfer of at least 101 members of the book trade from Ireland to the American book trade between 1750 and 1820. Many of these Irish booksellers in America both imported cheap Irish reprints of the British writers from their former colleagues and issued their own cheap reprintsÂ" Bound in the original pale gray laminated boards, stamped in shiny maroon.

Also includes List of Illustrations, Preface, Introduction: The Spanish Civil War, Epilogue, Notes, and Index. Frank Glasgow Tinker (July 14, 1909 - June 13, 1939) was an American volunteer fighter pilot for the Fuerzas Aéreas de la República Española ("Air Forces of the Spanish Republic"; FARE), during the Spanish Civil War. Tinker was credited officially with shooting down eight enemy aircraft and was the highest-scoring American air ace of the war. However, Tinker's logbook suggests that he claimed 19 victories, which would make him the sixth-highest scoring pilot in FARE. That relatively few of his claims were officially recognized was due to the complex system of verifying air kills used by FARE and the financial incentive paid to mercenaries: many victories were not verifiable because the downed aircraft crashed in an enemy-held area and/or an incentive would not have to be paid. In addition, Tinker and other pilots from Escuadrilla La Calle ("La Calle's Squadron"), also known as 1ª Escuadrilla de Chatos (1st Chato Squadron"), shared a number of joint kills against Junkers Ju 52 bombers. He reported narrowly avoiding death at both the hands of enemy aviators and malfunctioning equipment. He left a detailed record of his experiences as a fighter pilot for the Republicans in his memoir Some Still Live, published by Funk & Wagnalls Co in New York, 1938 and recently republished by The Clapton Press, London. Frank G. Tinker Jr. was the top American ace flying under contract with the Spanish Republican Air Force in the Spanish Civil War. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, class of 1933, he went into combat with Soviet airmen during the war. Through sheer perseverance he rose from a teenage enlisted seaman, through the U.S. Naval Academy, to the officer's wardroom--then pressed on to claim the wings of a naval aviator and to become a top-flight fighter pilot and published author. This first in-depth biography of Tinker covers his experience in combat, culminating with his command of a Soviet squadron and the termination of his contract with the government of Spain. Tinker would become the top American ace during the Spanish Civil War after downing eight enemy airplanes in combat. After returning to the United States,he wrote a memoir about fighting for Republican Spain. His death in Little Rock, Arkansas, in June 1939, often reported a suicide, remains controversial. Frank G. Tinker, Jr., a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Class of 1933, flew in combat with Soviet airmen during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Flying with the Spanish Republican Air Force, he was the top American ace during the Spanish Civil War. This biography deals with his experience in combat, culminating with Tinker commanding a Soviet squadron and terminating his contract with the government of Spain. After returning to the United States, he wrote a memoir about fighting for Republican Spain and later died under mysterious circumstances in Little Rock in June 1939. While there have been other books about the air war during the Spanish Civil War, this book differs from the preceding ones on two counts. First, it is the complete biography of a most colorful and uncommon young man--based not only on his memoir, but on Tinker family papers and his own personal records. Through sheer perseverance, he rose from a teenage enlisted seaman, through the U.S. Naval Academy, to the officer's wardroom--then pressed on to claim the wings of a naval aviator and become a superlative fighter pilot and a published author. More unusual still, he possessed extraordinary people skills--skills that allowed him to deal and move with relative ease among Navy compatriots, foreign combat pilots, left-wing literati in Madrid and Paris, and the rural folk of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, who embraced him as "one of their own." While in Spain, Tinker socialized with Ernest Hemingway, Robert Hale Merriman, the leader of the American Volunteers of the Lincoln Brigade and his successor Milton Wolff, who led the 15th International Brigade during the Battle of the Ebro. All this he managed before his death at age twenty-nine. Second, the book focuses on the aerial tactics introduced in the Spanish Civil War that became standard military practice a few years later in World War II. Included are descriptions of the German introduction of the "Finger Four" fighter formation that replaced the "V of three or four" formation then in vogue; the first use of military airlift to move large numbers of troops and equipment into combat; the greater accuracy and destructiveness of dive bombers vice high altitude bombers; perfection of the "silent approach" used by high altitude bombers before the introduction of radar early warning; and air intelligence reports that asserted daylight high altitude bombers could not "get through" and return from enemy territory successfully without the protection of fighter cover. U.S. Army Air Corps leaders at that time had fashioned a doctrine that the high speed, high altitude, "self-defending" daylight bomber would always get through, and rejected these intelligence reports--at a subsequent cost in lives of high altitude bomber aircrews in Europe in World War II. …
