SIGNED "LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN FLIGHT JACKET 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 flight helmets, jackets, and boots worn 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 1997. This SIGNED "LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN FLIGHT JACKET 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's signed by the author on an artful bookplate on the title page, boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 155 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of British and German flight clothing from WW2, including Luftwaffe "Netzkopfhaube" flight helmets, splinter goggles, summer flight jackets, and "Channel" jackets, RAF Type B flight helmets, blue battledress uniforms, Irvin sheepskin flight jackets, and Wilkinson made flak vests, as well as various flight suits, gloves, and boots from both of those staunch air forces. A beautiful example of a SIGNED "LUFTWAFFE VS. RAF" WW2 BATTLE OF BRITAIN FLIGHT JACKET REFERENCE BOOK.
