Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), silver letters, 206 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Ted Socker lived a charmed life. Trained at RAF Halton as one of Trenchard's 'Brats', a posting to Boscombe Down saw him fly in both the prototype Stirling and Halifax just as war engulfed Europe for the second time. Qualifying as one of the RAF's first flight engineers, he flew operations in 1941/42 with 35 and 102 Squadrons, a contemporary of Leonard Cheshire, helping with the often hair-raising task of converting pilots from two to four engines. On his return to 35, he became a pathfinder and flight engineer leader, taking part in virtually every major air battle of the war. Awarded the DFC in 1943, he was posted to 7 and then 582 Squadrons, going on to complete more than 100 bombing operations, often as a master bomber, and flying with some of the pathfinder 'greatest,' including Don Bennett himself. Although his aircraft was frequently hit, and he survived a crash landing on only his second trip, Ted was never wounded. His achievements were recognised with the Distinguished Service Order, the only known DSO issued to a flight engineer during the war or since. After the war, he flew with Bomber Harris on an tour of Brazil and later qualified as a pilot, introducing the Lockheed Neptune anti-submarine aircraft to the RAF for the first time as a flight commander with Coast Command.

Condizione: Very Good. Armstrong captured and condemned for involvement in the Rye House Plot against the monarchy. 10 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials; pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings that are rich in drama, and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery.

This set includes in-house briefing documents showing BCal's wish to make this new service a success, going to great lengths to emphasise cultural understanding of Saudis, and prepare for "over exuberant" expats returning home from Eastern Province.

Operation Black Buck was a series of seven ambitious long-distance ground-attack missions conducted by the Royal Air Force during the Falklands War in 1982. It was the RAF's most daring attack since 'Operation Chastise' - the Dambusters raid in WWII. 30 April - 1 May 1982: Vulcan XM607 made the first Black Buck sortie to the Falkland Islands to make an attack on Port Stanley airfield. XH558's Chief Pilot, Flight Lieutenant Martin Withers, carried out that first raid. With a full load of bombs and fuel, a sixth crew member and a fresh coat of paint, the Vulcans were well over their rated maximum take off weight of 204,000 pounds (93,000 kg) and incredibly was refuelled seven times on the outward journey, the logistics of which are beyond belief, they refuelled only the once on the return journey. Martin and the crew of Vulcan XM607 flew the first and last of the missions. SIGNED 'Martin Withers' to the front cover. Four cachet inserts. 44 Squadron Orderly Room R.A.F.
