Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Limited Edition. THE BATTLE BELOW - History of No. 3 Squadron Australian Flying Corps H.N. Wrigley - Scarce Limited Edition of Only 200 Copies A scarce and highly collectible Australian First World War aviation history, The Battle Below: Being the History of No. 3 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, written by Wing Commander H. N. Wrigley DFC, AFC. Originally published in Sydney by Errol G. Knox in 1935, the original edition is exceptionally rare. This attractive blue-cloth hardcover is the limited facsimile edition, restricted to just 200 copies, as stated on the title page. The book records the wartime history of No. 3 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, one of Australia's most important flying units of the Great War. Operating over the Western Front, the squadron undertook reconnaissance, artillery observation and army-cooperation missions under extremely dangerous conditions. Of particular interest to aviation collectors is No. 3 Squadron's connection with the death of Manfred von Richthofen - the legendary "Red Baron" - in April 1918. Written by a man who actually served and flew with the squadron, this is an important primary-source history rather than a modern account. Wrigley subsequently became one of Australia's most influential early military aviation figures.
