"LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN LIFE VEST PARACHUTE REFERENCE BOOK

Description

British Spitfires and Hurricanes dueled German Me-109s to a standstill in the epic Battle of Britain, fought over the Channel and the English countryside in the summer and fall of 1940. The parachutes, life vests, and survival items used by RAF and Luftwaffe pilots in those swirling dogfights have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Mick Prodger to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 1998. This "LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN LIFE VEST PARACHUTE REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 143 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of British and German flight equipment from WW2, including Luftwaffe parachutes, schwimmwestes, life rafts, rescue transmitters, compasses, and pistols, RAF observer parachutes, "Mae West" life vests, emergency flying rations, blood chits, compasses, and F-S daggers, as well as various other survival items from both of those staunch air forces. A beautiful example of a "LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN LIFE VEST PARACHUTE REFERENCE BOOK. With apologies to our valued international clients, we must restrict bidding to US bidders only.
