Description
Coldbeck really wanted to fly bombers, but volunteered for photoreconnaissance and flew to Malta. His arrival there represented Britain’s sole means of searching for the Italian fleet and other enemy movements within the area bounded by Benghazi and Libya to the south, Tunisia to the west, Sardinia and Rome to the north, and Navarino to the east. The story is one of bravery and determination, but eventually Coldbeck’s luck ran out, and after baling out over the sea he was captured and spent the rest of the war in PoW camps in Italy and Germany. Pre-owned. Hardcover with a very good (price clipped) dustjacket – no tears. Very good, clean copy. Published by Airlife Publishing Ltd., 1997
