Quarto, original red paper boards, original dust jacket. $2500.First edition of this history of this ""photographic record of the Flying Tigers-14th Air Force in China,"" signed by 17 of the Tigers, including nine aces.Prior to the United States entry into World War II, approximately 15,000 Americans joined flying units already engaged in combat. At the request of Madame Chiang Kaishek, General Claire Lee Chennault recruited a squadron of fighter pilots in order to throw a small but well-equipped air force into China to attack Japanese supply lines. With the official designation ""American Volunteer Group"" (AVG) but popularly known as ""The Flying Tigers,"" this celebrated group of pilots has been described as ""the most colorful group of warriors in modern times"" and ""the world's most illustrious squadron"" (History Channel).Signed next to their photographs by Charlie Bond, Joe Rosbert, Dick Rossi, D.L.

Of these, Rossi, Rector, R.T. Smith, Bond, Jernstedt, Rosbert, Hill, Hedman and Older were aces (more than five enemy planes shot down). Bond, an ace with 9-1/2 victories, was the first of the Flying Tigers to paint his Curtiss P-40 Warhawk with the shark mouth on the nose of his plane, an iconic decoration that would become characteristic of the Flying Tigers.

Octavo (19cm); black paper-covered boards, with titles stamped in white and gilt on spine; dustjacket; [6],7-207,[1]pp. Early owner's ink name ("Madeline Currie, July 31/63, Lagos Nigeria") on front pastedown and endpaper, faint foxing to text edges and endpapers, with a small, faint splash mark to front cover; Very Good+. Dustjacket is unclipped (priced 16s. net), gently spine-sunned and lightly edgeworn, with some foxing and dust-soil, and a corresponding faint splash mark to front panel; Very Good+. The Nigerian author's debut novel, which had some superficial similarities to Achebe's No Longer At Ease. "Nzekwu's hero, Peter Obiese is a westernized journalist, whose love for Nneka is thwarted by the fact that she is under a family curse. Yet the situation is not exactly the same: although Peter pays lip-service to modern scepticism, he does his best to go through the rituals that are supposed to lift the curse; the rites do not work because some white stone is missing, and Nneka commits suicide rather than have Peter come under the curse with her" (Gérard, European-Language Writing in Sub-Saharan Africa, Vol.2, p.704). 81603.
