hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: San Antonio, The Naylor Company, 1972 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xi], 132. Condition Report: Very Good. The volume presents a sturdy, square text block within a tight binding, though the publisherâs original blue cloth binding displays noticeable fading and uneven mottling across the front board. Conversely, the silver gilt lettering stamped to the spine remains sharp and unoxidised. Internally, the pages are crisp and unmarked, with only a touch of faint uniform toning to the text block edges. The original pictorial dust jacket exhibits surface rubbing to the white panels, and minor tanning along the spine, yet remaining entirely free of significant chips or tears. Catalogue Note: First edition, as determined by the 1972 copyright date with no indication of subsequent printings by The Naylor Company. Colonel William Boyd Sinclair, a retired USAF veteran, brings his authoritative firsthand perspective to this non-fiction military account. The rear panel of the dust jacket notably features a printed endorsement from John Toland, the 1971 Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Rising Sun. Complete copies retaining their original dust jackets in a respectable state are increasingly sought after by aviation and WWII historians. A compelling, firsthand historical account of the B-29 Superfortress and its formidable role in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. Written by Colonel William Boyd Sinclair, a retired USAF veteran, this work explores the high-altitude missions of the 509th Composite Group, culminating in the deployment of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought the global conflict to a decisive end.
