CZECHS IN THE RAF IN FOCUS

Description: CZECHS IN THE RAF IN FOCUS by Zdenek Hurt, oversize paperback new copy, 100 pages This remarkable collection of photographs, brought together by a Czech researcher, makes a fitting tribute to their sacrifice. The Czechs were trained and went to many operational RAF squadrons, as well as their own national squadrons, 310, 311, 312 and 313 Squadrons. As well as the images taken by the air and ground crews themselves, stunning professional images taken by Ladislav Sitensky are included in an English language title for the first time. The photographs are mainly presented in large formats, giving modellers the chance to examine the details easily, and the high quality gloss finish paper aids the high definition reproduction. With eight pages of colour including some rare WWII colour photos and with extended captions, details of bases, losses, raids flown, code letters and claims to fame, this book is a lavishly illustrated visual reference to the Czechs who flew with the RAF. The aircraft featured in this book were all based in Norfolk and Suffolk. This area was known during the war as ‘Little America’ and there are many references to towns and villages in these counties. The city of Norwich is the epicentre of interest in these aircraft and units and recently opened a multi-million pound ‘Memorial Library’ to the memory of the Americans who were based in Norfolk and Suffolk. The photographs are mainly presented in large formats, giving modellers the chance to examine the details easily, and the high quality gloss finish paper aids the high definition reproduction. A further volume detailing the many Hurricane Squadrons based in Middle East and Far East is in preparation. Four pages of colour side views by noted technical illustrator Mark Rolfe provide colour reference to the different schemes worn by Hurricanes in Europe. All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise. Winner pays $4.75 shipping within the US. I combine purchases and the rate goes way down after the first book purchased.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
