240 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0688042902 B&w photographs. "(The author) recalls with vivid intensity the many months he flew and fought both day and night during the time the Royal Air Force was stretched to the l imit and barely managed to defeat a more powerful German Luftwaffe, and prevent the invasion of England in World War II. (It) is more than just a book about aerial combat. Townsend has tracked down residents of London who survived the German r a i d s to tell their incredible true stories of endurance and bravery. He has also located the German fliers with whom he dueled miles above the spires of Parliament to get their own personal accounts. Thus 'The Odds Against Us' is unique in it na rr at iv e scope and its understanding of what happened to those who suffered the cruel twists of fate created by the first all-out warfare against civilians in modern times."

Bailey, Jim. Foreword by Peter Townsend. THE SKY SUSPENDED: A FIGHTER PILOT'S STORY.
Bloomsbury, London, 1990.
184 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0747506264 B&w photographs. "In 1939, at the age of nineteen, Jim Bailey was conscripted into the RAF to train as a fighter pilot. What happened over the next five years to Jim and t he men who fought alongside him - those who died and those who survived - is related here with candour and quiet modesty. This is a story of youthful heroism, and of the suspense-filled drama of combat in the air. It is also the story of a s u r v i v o r. Jim Bailey remained a pilot throughout the war - flying first Defiants and then Beaufighters - from the Battle of Britain through Gibraltar and the Anzio beach-head to the landing in the South of France. But as well as action and su rv iv al , Ji m Bailey captures precisely the atmosphere of everyday life on the ground in wartime Britain. (This) is a unique memoir both of the war in the air and of life on the home front." Light cigarette odor, minor browning to edges of textb loc k. Du st ja ck et has very minor edge wear/wrinkling, minor browning at inside edges. Very Good/Very Good
