New York: Palgrave Macmillan Trade, 2015. Tall octavo, grey hardcover, spine embossed with copper lettering, xiv, 248 pp., frontispiece, four double-sided plates of black-and-white photographs included. Spine ends a little bumped, edges of cover a touch faded; otherwise a near-fine copy with dust-jacket. First edition. Dando-Collins tells the fascinating story of one of the least known operations of World War Two: Operation Chowhound. In early May 1945, 2,268 military units flown by the USA Air Force dropped food to 3.5 million starving Dutch civilians in German-occupied Holland - with the cooperation of the Germans. Many of the airmen who carried out the operation consider it one of the best that they completed during the war. Item #4623
