This detailed account of the Polish Air Force was the first complete coverage of the subject to appear anywhere in the world.

Details its birth in revolution, its brief but heroic period as the air arm of an independent nation, and its present status as one of the principal weapons in the armoury of the Soviet bloc.

Based on much information then new to the West, exhaustively documented, and written with admirable objectivity, it amounts to more than a history of an air force. The author has taken such trouble to explain the historical, social and economic background that it becomes an important contribution to the history of Poland itself, and a commentary on the socio-political problems of air technology which are just as applicable today.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images including end papers.

This copy is in Excellent condition although musty from storage.  A plastic cover has been applied to the dust jacket. As usual, photos are of the item that you will receive.
