Mass Market Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. New Edition. 316 Pages. Tight square book with faultless interior pages. The only defect noted is a very slightly concave spine. Seventy-eight combat missions and firty-seven accredited victories in air battles make the name of Major McCuddenhigh amongthe lists of the flying heroes of World War 1. Here, in his own words, is his story of that war in the air as it really was, of patrols and dog fights and daily dangers. Aviation enthusiasts calll his book one of the ten best narratives on World War 1 aviation and it has been one of the most sought-after and highly prized of books. It's a fitting addition to Ace's Air Combat Classics. He has a knowing evye for the color and characteristics of his foes, and admiration for their skill. The book is tinged with the air of mixed innocence and gallantry which marked this gentleman's war above the ground and with grim humor. Flying Fury is both a valuable insight into the world of early aviation and a powerful account of courage and survival above the mud and trenches of Flanders. Fighter ace James McCudden died in July 1918, after engine failure caused his plane to crash just four months before the end of World War I. His success as one of Britain's deadliest pilots earned him the Victoria Cross.
