Best Foot Forward The Autobiography of Colin Hodgkinson, with a forward by Sir Achibald McIndoe

HODGKINSON, Colin

London: Odhams Press Limited, 1957. Octavo, frontispiece, 256 p.p., 12 photo plates. Spine sunned on top and bottom, edges mildly foxed, a very good copy in very good dust jacket (this chipped with some loss). In the whole of the Second World War only two men succeeded in returning to operational flying after losing both legs in flying accidents. One was Douglas Bader whose story has already been told. The other was Colin Hodgkinson whose very different but no-less-remarkable and courageous story is told for the first time in this book. Item #126
