Item #1624 A Killing for the Hawkes. FREDERICK E. SMITH.

A Killing for the Hawkes

New York: David McKay Company, 1966. Octavo, original cloth, 252 pp. Dust-jacket lightly rubbed. Otherwise a fine copy in a fine dust-jacket. This well may be one of the finest novels ever written about air combat over the Western Front in World War I, in the days of cardboard-and-string aircraft when there were no parachutes, and getting hit meant being burned alive or leaping to one's death. Led by the brilliant ace, John Seymour, in the bitter winter of 1917, 55a Squadron was the shining beacon of the battered Royal Flying Corps. Item #1624

Price (AUD): $70.00
