Shores, Christopher

(Book #ID 111598)

Published by Grub Street Publishing, 4 Rainham Close, London First Edition 2005. 2005.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original terracotta covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. In his monumental work 'Bloody Shambles', Volume Two, Christopher Shores described in detail the British retreat out of Burma, culminating at the end of May 1942. The monsoon then brought operations on land and in the air virtually to a halt for several months as the British and Indian forces prepared to retake Burma. The Japanese however, had very different ideas. Air War for Burma picks up the story from the beginning of June 1942 and follows the hard-fought campaigns through to the end of the war in August 1945. Here the activities of the RAF and USAAF during the desperate fighting of 1942-44, resulting ultimately in victories at Imphal and Kohima, are fully recounted. No less a forgotten air force than was the 14th 'Forgotten Army', the RAF particularly was denied the most modern and effective aircraft until late in the fighting, struggling to survive with obsolescent equipment against frequently superior Japanese machines. Contains 448 pp with maps and monochrome photographs throughout. Fine condition book in near Fine condition dust wrapper with slight sun fading down the spine, not price clipped, £30.00.
