Description: David McKay Company, 1944. 1944. Hardcover with dust jacket. Hardback, small octavo, 192 pages, VG in G dj (dj in mylar). DJ surfaces not too bad, but edges tattered, corners chipped & short tears. FFEP has ownership rank, name, serial number and address (AAF, Dyersburg, Tenn) + warm inscription in the author's wife's hand (?) signed by her and then SIGNED by the author himself. Perhaps a presentation copy to a friend. "To Mildred - Loads of Luck and Kindest Regards, 'Annie' (?) & Bill Crawford." The last page of the book tells of Crawford's relocation to Dyersburg as an Army Air Force instructor pilot & where he and 'Marg' were married. ('Annie' is hard to read, and whatever it does read I presume to be a nickname for Crawford's wife Marg.) Illustrated title page. Photo-illustrations on glossy stock incl. frontis of author (repeated on back panel of dj) & additional 12-page photo section. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
