About This Item
Lester & Orpen Dennys, 1981. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First Edition thus-Unclipped DJ with a bit of sunfading to spine-Other than crossed out name on flypage a tight, clean and unmarked copy-Photo illustrations-" The book is a biography of Canada's premiere fighter ace of the Second World War. Beginning his service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1941, George Beurling, a bit of a loner wholly devoted to developing his skills as a fighter pilot, found it difficult to adapt himself to the accepted discipline so essential to working well in a squadron tasked with flying combat over Western Europe. But, when Beurling volunteered for combat service in Malta (arriving there in the early summer of 1942 when the island was under siege from both the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica), he came into his own as a fighter pilot. Within 4 months, he was credited with shooting down 28 enemy planes and enjoyed a reputation as a top pilot and superb shot.
